If Mathew swims an equal many miles for 4 days a week then to find out how many miles he swam each of those four days then you would divide. 20/4 which would give you your answer 5 miles
Hope this helps! :)

This problem is one of division, and the setup is simple. All you would need to do is divide the number of miles Matthew swims by the number of days he practices.

20/4 = 5

Matthew swims 5 miles every day
