Answer 1

`1.004\text{ miles}`

Step-by-step 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{= }(5300)/(5280) \\ x\approx1.004\text{miles} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Janice walks about 1.004 miles.
