192 cars/day

Explanation:

Using ratio:

#("car count")/("day count") ->960/5 ->(960-:5)/(5-:5)=("192 cars")/("1 day") -> color(blue)(192)color(white)(.)color(green)( ("cars")/("1 day"))#

#color(blue)(192)color(white)(.)color(green)( ("cars")/("1 day"))->color(blue)(192)color(white)(.)color(green)("cars/day")#

Do you spot the connection between ratio and the wording:

"count per day"
