To find out how many miles Janice walks, we can first determine how many quarter-hours are in \( \frac{7}{8} \) hour.
1. Convert \( \frac{7}{8} \) hour to quarter-hours:
\[
\frac{7}{8} \text{ hour} = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{28}{8} = 3.5 \text{ quarter-hours}
\]
2. Since Janice walks 1 mile every \( \frac{1}{4} \) hour, the number of miles she walks in \( 3.5 \) quarter-hours is the same as the number of quarter-hours:
\[
\text{Miles walked} = 3.5 \text{ miles}
\]
3. Now, let's convert \( 3.5 \) miles to a mixed number:
\[
3.5 = 3 \frac{1}{2}
\]
So, Janice walks \( \boxed{3 \frac{1}{2}} \) miles.
