Start with the given rate: 2,418 miles in 6 days. Find the unit rate (miles per day):

403 miles per day = 2,418 ÷ 6.

To find how long to go from City A to City B, divide the total distance (call it D miles, the distance shown on the map) by the unit rate:

time = D ÷ 403 days.

So the blank should be filled with the map distance (D) miles, and the travel time is D/403 days. (For example, if the map distance were 3,224 miles, time = 3,224 ÷ 403 = 8 days.)
