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 answer

To calculate the number of miles Janice walked, we need to multiply her rate by the time she walked.
Her rate is 1 mile / (1/4) hour = 1/(1/4) = 1 * (4/1) = 4 miles/hour.
The distance Janice walked is obtained by multiplying her rate by the time walked: 4 miles/hour * 7/8 hour = 28 / 8 miles = 7/2 = 3.5 miles. Answer: \boxed{3.5}.
