If a pallet of salt has 49 bags, and I use 14 bags a day, how many days will 5 pallets last?

To find out how many days 5 pallets of salt will last when using 14 bags a day, we can follow these steps:

1. **Determine the total number of bags on 5 pallets:**

   \[
   \text{Total bags} = 49 \text{ bags/pallet} \times 5 \text{ pallets} = 245 \text{ bags}
   \]

2. **Calculate how many days the total number of bags will last:**

   \[
   \text{Number of days} = \frac{\text{Total bags}}{\text{Bags used per day}} = \frac{245 \text{ bags}}{14 \text{ bags/day}} = 17.5 \text{ days}
   \]

So, **5 pallets will last 17.5 days**.
