the left claw orange.
(b) if your answer is
30 miles/day color the sign in

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit rate formula

Unit rate is total quantity divided by total time. So, unit rate = $\frac{\text{Total miles}}{\text{Total days}}$.

Step2: Substitute values

Total miles = 240, Total days = 8. So, unit rate = $\frac{240}{8}$.

Step3: Calculate the division

$\frac{240}{8} = 30$.

Answer:

30 miles/day
