What would be the calculation to find out: How many days can I go on a tank
of gas if: I get 29 mpg / 15 gal tank / 24 miles round trip.
 
=(29*15)/24

mpg multiplied by tank size divided by miles per round trip. Gives you
about 18 trips.
 
The tank holds 15 gallons
You get 29 mpg
So the tank holds 435 miles (15 gal per tank*29 mpg)

You travel 24 miles per day
The tank holds 18.125 days (435 miles per tank/24 miles per day)

The entire formula is:
=(15*29)/24
=18.125

Does that help?
