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)
To find the distance Janice walked, we need to calculate the product of her rate and the time she walked.
The rate at which she walks is 1 mile every 1/4 hour.
We can calculate how many miles she walked in 7/8 hour by dividing the total time by the time it takes to walk 1 mile:
(7/8) hour ÷ (1/4) hour/mile = (7/8) hour × (4/1) mile/hour = (7/2) mile = 3.5 miles.
Therefore, Janice walked 3.5 miles.

To convert the decimal answer to a fraction:
3.5 can be written as 7/2.
