Question

Emma's family traveled 5/8 of the distance to her aunt’s house on Saturday. They traveled 1/3 of the remaining distance on Sunday. What fraction of the total distance to her aunt’s house was traveled on Sunday?

Answer 1

23/24

Explanation:

To find the total distance of Sunday and Saturday we add 5/8 + 1/3

= 5/8 + 1/3

= 5 × 3/8 × 3 + 1 × 8/3 × 8

= 15/24 + 8/24

= 15 + 8/ 24

= 23/24
