How do you write 48 gallons in 14 days as a unit rate?

You know that there are 48 gallons per 14 days (assuming that there is a reasonably constant flow-- not all 48 gallons were measured in only one of the 14 days). The idea is to figure out, on average, the number of gallons per day. Once you do that, the unit rate would be x gallons per day. In this case the 'unit' is a day. You could also, if it is helpful, figure out days per gallon, in which case one gallon is the 'unit'.
