Question
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)
it is not 14m
itis not28m
To find the number of miles Janice walked, we need to divide the total time she walked by the rate at which she walks.
The total time Janice walked is 7/8 hour.
The rate at which she walks is 1 mile every 1/4 hour.
To find the number of miles, we divide the total time by the rate:
(7/8) ÷ (1/4)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(7/8) * (4/1)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:
28/8
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
3.5
Therefore, Janice walked 3.5 miles.
not it
I apologize for the confusion. Let's solve the problem correctly.
The total time Janice walked is 7/8 hour.
The rate at which she walks is 1 mile every 1/4 hour.
To find the number of miles, we divide the total time by the rate:
(7/8) ÷ (1/4)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(7/8) * (4/1)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:
28/8
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
7/2
Therefore, Janice walked 7/2 miles, which is equal to 3.5 miles or 3 1/2 miles.
