Answer 1

6.65 km

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

`(950)/(1)=(x)/(7)`

Step 1: Switch sides

`(x)/(7)=(950)/(1)`

Step 2: Apply rule
`(a)/(1)=a`

`(x)/(7)=950`

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 7

`(7x)/(7)=950\cdot \:7`

Step 4: Simplify

`x=6650`

Expressed:
`(6650 meters)/(1000)` (convertion to kilometers) = 6.65 kilometers

Therefore, Janet would walk 6.65 km in an entire week

Answer 2

6.65 kilometers

Explanation:

950 * 7 days a week = 6650 meters

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