Janice walks a total of 7/8 hour. She walks at a rate of 1 mile every 1/4 hour. How many miles did she walk? (1 point)
Janice walks for a total of 7/8 hour
She walks 1 mile every 1/4 hour.
To find how many miles she walks, we can calculate the total number of 1/4 hour increments in 7/8 hours.
The 1/4 hour increments fit into 7/8 hours 7/8 / 1/4 = (7/8) / (1/4)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction: (7/8) * (4/1) = (7 * 4) / (8 * 1) = 28/8.
To get a whole number, we divide the numerator by the denominator: 28/8 = 3.5.
Therefore, Janice walks 3.5 miles. Answer: \boxed{3.5}.
Wrong
Apologies for the mistake.
If Janice walks at a rate of 1 mile every 1/4 hour, we can calculate the total distance she walks by multiplying her speed (1 mile/1/4 hour) by the total time she walks (7/8 hour).
1 mile/ 1/4 hour * 7/8 hour = 1 * 7/1 * 4/8 = 7/1 * 1/2 = 7/2 = 3.5 miles.
Therefore, Janice walks 3.5 miles.
It is saying that that ia not rigjt and that it is qrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let's approach the problem again.
Janice walks at a rate of 1 mile every 1/4 hour. In other words, she walks 4 miles every hour.
We know that Janice walks for a total of 7/8 hour. To find the total distance she walks, we multiply her speed by the time:
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 4 miles/hour * 7/8 hour
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
Distance = (4 * 7)/(1 * 8) = 28/8
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Distance = 7/2
Therefore, Janice walks a total distance of 7/2 miles or 3.5 miles.
