Question

Janice walks a total of 7/8 hours she walks at a rate of 1 mi every 1/4 hour how many miles did she walk

Answer 1

To find out how many miles Janice walked, we can follow these steps:

1. **Determine Janice's walking rate**: She walks at a rate of 1 mile every 1/4 hour. This means that in 1 hour, she would walk:

\[
\text{Walking rate} = 1 \, \text{mile} \div \frac{1}{4} \, \text{hour} = 4 \, \text{miles per hour}
\]

2. **Determine the total time walked**: Janice walked for a total of 7/8 hours.

3. **Calculate the total distance walked**: To find the distance, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}
\]

Substituting the values we found:

\[
\text{Distance} = 4 \, \text{miles per hour} \times \frac{7}{8} \, \text{hours}
\]

Now calculate the distance:

\[
\text{Distance} = 4 \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{28}{8} = 3.5 \, \text{miles}
\]

Therefore, Janice walked a total of **3.5 miles**.
