To find the distance Janice walked, we need to multiply her rate (1 mile every 1/4 hour) by the total time she walked (7/8 hour).
Since Janice walks 1 mile every 1/4 hour, in 7/8 hour she would walk (7/8) / (1/4) miles.
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal, so (7/8) / (1/4) = (7/8) * (4/1) = (7*4) / (8*1) = 28/8 = 3.5.
Therefore, Janice walked 3.5 miles.
