Answer:

499 1/3 miles

Explanation:

Let m represent the number of miles the car can travel on 14 gallons. We assume distance is proportional to gas usage, so ...

m/14 = 107/3

Multiplying by 14, we have ...

m = 14(107/3) = 1498/3 = 499 1/3

The car can travel 499 1/3 miles on a full tank of gas.
