You can put this solution on YOUR website!
430 / 26 = x / 57
cross multiply to get 430 * 57 = 26 * x
divide both sides of this equation by 26 to get 430 * 57 / 26 = x
solve for x to get x = 942.6923077 miles.

you could also determine the number of miles per gallon and then multiply that by 57.
you should get the same answer.

430 / 26 = 16.53846154 miles per gallon * 57 = 942.6923077 miles.
