The ratio here is 16:436.
The easiest way to solve this is finding how many miles Jim can drive using just 1 gallon. We can do this by dividing both sides of the ratio by 16.
16÷16 is 1
436÷16 is 27.25
so our new ratio is 1 gallon:27.25 miles.
next we simply multiply both sides by 14.
1x14=14
27.25x14=381.5 miles :)

Draw in real life it will work.
Another way 2 hundreds 7 tens and 6 ones
4x / 5 = 1 / 3 ( 2x - 15 )
4x / 5= ( 2x - 15 ) / 3
4x × 3 = 5 ( 2x - 15 )
12x = 10x - 75
12x - 10x = - 75
2x = - 75
x = - 75 / 2
x = - 37.5
