Answer: The fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday =
$\frac18$

Explanation:

Let x be the total distance to grandmother's house .

As per given,

Distance traveled on Saturday =
$\frac58x$

Remaining distance =
$x-\frac58 x$

$=\frac38x$

Distance traveled of Sunday =
$\frac13$ of Remaining distance

=
$\frac13*(3)/(8)x$

=
$\frac18 x$

The fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday =
$\frac18$
