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.
Janice walks a total of 7/8
hour. She walks at a rate of 1 mile every 1/4
