Let the given rate be N miles in 4 days. To find the unit rate (miles per 1 day) divide both the number of miles and the number of days by 4:

StartFraction N miles Over 4 days EndFraction
= StartFraction (N ÷ 4) miles Over (4 ÷ 4) days EndFraction
= StartFraction (N/4) miles Over 1 day EndFraction.

So the unit rate is (N/4) miles per day.

Example: if N = 20 miles in 4 days,
StartFraction 20 miles Over 4 days EndFraction = StartFraction (20 ÷ 4) miles Over 1 day EndFraction = StartFraction 5 miles Over 1 day EndFraction = 5 miles/day.
