Question

Ginny's family traveled 5 8 of the distance to her grandfather’s house on Saturday. They traveled 2 3 of the remaining distance on Sunday. What fraction of the total distance to her grandfather’s house was traveled on Sunday?

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

Divide the trip up into 8 equal parts (1/8's)

On Saturday they went 5/8, leaving 3/8 to go.

On Sunday they went another 2/8.

The fraction of the total distance they went just on Sunday is 2/8 = 1/4
