    Answer: it will take her 58 minutes to walk one mile.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    She walks at a constant rate of 30 seconds per lap and it takes her 46 steps to walk one full lap. It means that she walks 46 steps in 30 seconds.

    If each step is approximately 1 foot, it means that the number of feet that she walks in 30 seconds is 46 feet.

    1 foot = 0.000189 miles

    Therefore, 46 feet would be

    46 * 0.00189 = 0.008694 miles

    Therefore, if she she walks 0.008694 miles in 30 seconds,

    The time it will take her to walk 1 mile would be

    30/0.008694 = 3450.66 seconds

    Converting to minutes, it becomes

    3450.66/60 = 58 minutes
