Answer 1

I don't see the specific number from your "previous step," so here's the general method plus a concrete example.

General (use a to stand for the number of miles you had):
Start with the rate a miles per 6 days:
(a miles) / (6 days)

To get the unit rate (miles per 1 day) divide numerator and denominator by 6:
(a miles) / (6 days) = (a ÷ 6 miles) / (6 ÷ 6 days) = (a/6 miles) / (1 day).

So the unit rate is (a/6) miles per 1 day.

Example: if you had 24 miles in 6 days:
(24 miles) / (6 days) = (24 ÷ 6 miles) / (1 day) = 4 miles / 1 day.

If you tell me the exact number of miles from the previous step I can substitute it and give the filled-in fraction.
