so Matrix's van can take up to 14 gallons of gasoline, and it does 25 miles for one gallon, wait a second, it takes up 14 gallons though, if it does 25 miles for 1 gallon, how much does it do for the whole 14 gallons? well, 14 * 25, that many miles for a whole full tank.
On his next trip, he'll be driving it for 1050 miles, how many tanks is that?
well, how many times does (14*25) go into 1050? 1050/(14*25) that many.
