Answer 1

Answer:

6.65 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

950 * 7 days a week = 6650 meters

6650 meters / 1000 (conversion to kilometers) = 6.65 kilometers

Answer 2

Answer:

6.65  km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this in a set of fraction forms. Since 1 day is 950 meters, 1 week will be converted to days to be on equal grounds. 1 week = 7 days. Therefore, let us set up a fraction; Let "x" be the variable

$\frac{950}{1}=\frac{x}{7}$

Step 1: Switch sides

$\frac{x}{7}=\frac{950}{1}$

Step 2: Apply rule $\frac{a}{1}=a$

$\frac{x}{7}=950$

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}=950\cdot \:7$

Step 4: Simplify

$x=6650$

Expressed: $\frac{6650 meters}{1000}$ (convertion to kilometers) = 6.65 kilometers

Therefore, Janet would walk 6.65 km in an entire week
