per-day or per-person rescaling

Divide the total by the days, the weeks, or the people, and draw both sizes at once. The point is not that the smaller number is friendlier. It is that one of the two scales is the one you can act on, and the other is the one that shows what it adds to. Show the divisor, and show both.

Example

Best when a total covers a long period or a large group and neither end of it is actionable alone.
