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 point)

it is not 14m
itis not28m

Answer 1

To find the number of miles Janice walked, we need to divide the total time she walked by the rate at which she walks.

The total time Janice walked is 7/8 hour.

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

To find the number of miles, we divide the total time by the rate:

(7/8) ÷ (1/4)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(7/8) * (4/1)

Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:

28/8

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

3.5

Therefore, Janice walked 3.5 miles.

Answer 2

not it

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. Let's solve the problem correctly.

The total time Janice walked is 7/8 hour.

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

To find the number of miles, we divide the total time by the rate:

(7/8) ÷ (1/4)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(7/8) * (4/1)

Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:

28/8

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

7/2

Therefore, Janice walked 7/2 miles, which is equal to 3.5 miles or 3 1/2 miles.
