Answer 1

ANSWER

$1.004\text{ miles}$

EXPLANATION

To find the number of miles that Janice walks, we have to convert from feet to miles.

We are given that:

$1\text{ mile=}5280\text{ feet}$

Let the distance Janice walks be x.

This means that:

$x\text{ miles=5300 feet}$

To find x, divide 5300 feet by 5280 feet. That is:

$\begin{gathered} x\text{= }\frac{5300}{5280} \\ x\approx1.004\text{miles} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, Janice walks about 1.004 miles.
