    5320*14 = 74480 gallons.

    First let us convert gallons to cm^3 and we get 2.819374858x10^8 cm^3.

    We then multiply with density and then times 1000 to get it in terms of tons.

    Then multiply the number by 7 to get how many tons of crude oil a single plane uses in 14 hrs.

    Finally divide this by the production of crude oil.

    I got 4737 airplanes.
