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?
To find the number of miles Janice walked, we need to divide the total time she walked (7/8 hour) by the time it takes her to walk 1 mile (1/4 hour).
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
(7/8) ÷ (1/4) = (7/8) * (4/1)
We can simplify this expression by canceling out the common factors:
= (7/2) * 4
= 14 * 1
= 14 miles
So, Janice walked 14 miles.
To find the number of miles Janice walked, we need to divide the total time she walked (7/8 hour) by the time it takes her to walk 1 mile (1/4 hour).
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
(7/8 hour)/(1/4 hour) = (7/8 hour) * (4/1 hour)
We can simplify this expression by canceling out the common factor of hours:
= (7/2) * 4
= 14 * 2
= <<14*2=28>>28 miles
So, Janice walked 28 miles. Answer: \boxed{28}.
To find out how many miles Janice walked, we need to calculate the product of her walking rate (1 mile every 1/4 hour) and the total time she walked (7/8 hour).
Step 1: Convert the fraction 1/4 to a decimal:
1/4 = 0.25
Step 2: Multiply the walking rate by the total time:
0.25 * 7/8 = 0.21875
Step 3: Round the result to the nearest hundredth:
0.21875 ≈ 0.22
Therefore, Janice walked approximately 0.22 miles.
To find the number of miles Janice walked, we need to multiply her walking rate by the total time she walked.
Janice walks at a rate of 1 mile per 1/4 hour, which means she walks 1 mile every 1/4 hour.
The total time Janice walked is given as 7/8 hour.
To find the number of miles she walked, we can set up the following calculation:
(1 mile / 1/4 hour) * (7/8 hour)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(1 * 7) / (1/4 * 8)
Simplifying further, we have:
7 / (1/2)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
7 * 2/1
The final calculation is:
14 / 1
Thus, Janice walked 14 miles.
I apologize for the mistakes in my previous response.
To find the number of miles Janice walked, we can set up the following calculation:
(1 mile / 1/4 hour) * (7/8 hour)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(1 * 7) / (1/4 * 8)
Simplifying further, we have:
7 / (1/2)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
7 * 2/1
The final calculation is:
14 / 1
Thus, Janice walked 14 miles. Answer: 14 miles.
Apologies again for the errors in my previous response. Let's try solving it correctly this time.
To find the number of miles Janice walked, we need to multiply her walking rate by the total time she walked.
Janice walks at a rate of 1 mile every 1/4 hour, so her walking rate can be expressed as 1/(1/4) = 1 * (4/1) = 4 miles per hour.
The total time Janice walked is given as 7/8 hour.
To find the number of miles she walked, we can set up the following calculation:
4 miles/hour * 7/8 hour
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(4 * 7) / (1 * 8)
Simplifying further, we have:
28 / 8
To simplify this fraction, we divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
28/8 = (28/4) / (8/4) = 7/2
So, Janice walked 7/2 miles, which can also be written as 3.5 miles. Answer: 3.5 miles.
