The given rate 1,656 miles per 4 days can be turned into a unit rate: 1,656 ÷ 4 = 414 miles per day.
Use that unit rate to find how many days it takes to go the full map distance D (the distance from City A to City B): time = D ÷ 414 days.
So fill the first blank with "1,656 miles over 4 days" and the last blank with the map distance (D) or, if the map shows a specific number, compute D ÷ 414 to get the number of days.
(If you tell me the map distance, I will compute the exact number of days.)
