A construction crew built  miles of road in  days.
What is the unit rate in miles per day?

Write your answer as a fraction or a mixed number in simplest form.



To find the unit rate in miles per day, we need to divide the total number of miles built by the total number of days.

Let \( \text{miles} \) be the number of miles built, and \( \text{days} \) be the number of days it took. The unit rate is calculated as:

\[
\text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{miles}}{\text{days}}
\]

Since you haven't provided specific values for miles and days, I can demonstrate with placeholders:

If they built, say, 50 miles in 5 days, the unit rate would be:

\[
\frac{50}{5} = 10 \, \text{miles per day}
\]

Once you provide the actual numbers, I can simplify the fraction further. Would you like to give those values?
