To determine the maximum number of days Drew can run without exceeding 30 miles in a week, we need to follow these steps:

1. Determine the maximum miles Drew can run in a week. According to the problem, this is less than or equal to 30 miles.
2. Determine the miles Drew runs each day. We are given that he runs 5 miles a day.
3. To find out the maximum number of days he can run, we divide the maximum weekly mileage by the daily mileage.
4. Since we want to know the maximum whole days, we need to use floor division which disregards any remainder.

So, if we have a weekly limit of 30 miles, we divide that by the daily rate of 5 miles:

30 miles per week ÷ 5 miles per day = 6 days.

This means that Drew can run for a maximum of 6 days without exceeding 30 miles in a week.
