givens:
544230973440 oz
14600 gal/year
using conversion factors
since there are 128 oz/gal
544230973449 oz * (gal/(128 oz)) * (year/(14600 gal))
= 291219.484931... years

You need to find out how many gallons 544,230,973,440 ounces makes. Convert ounces to gallons and then subtract how many gallons the man uses from that number to determine how many gallons are left. Then you can figure out how many years the remaining gallons will last.
