To find the distance Janice walked, we need to calculate the product of her rate and the time she walked.

The rate at which she walks is 1 mile every 1/4 hour.

We can calculate how many miles she walked in 7/8 hour by dividing the total time by the time it takes to walk 1 mile:

(7/8) hour ÷ (1/4) hour/mile = (7/8) hour × (4/1) mile/hour = (7/2) mile = 3.5 miles.

Therefore, Janice walked 3.5 miles.

To convert the decimal answer to a fraction:

3.5 can be written as 7/2.

Therefore, Janice walked 7/2 miles.
