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)
miles
To find the number of miles Janice walked, we need to divide the total time she walked by the time it takes her to walk 1 mile.
The total time Janice walked is 7/8 hour.
The time it takes her to walk 1 mile is 1/4 hour.
To divide 7/8 by 1/4, we multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(7/8) / (1/4) = 7/8 * 4/1 = (7 * 4) / (8 * 1) = 28/8 = 7/2 = 3.5
Therefore, Janice walked 3.5 miles.
