Question

Carly's family traveled 3/10 of the distance to her grandmother's house on Saturday. They traveled 3/7 of the remaining distance on Sunday. What fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday?

Answer 1

3/10 of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday

Explanation:

Carly's family traveled distance of Saturday =
`(3)/(10)`

Remaining distance =
`1-(3)/(10)=(7)/(10)`

They traveled 3/7 of the remaining distance on Sunday.

So, Distance traveled on Sunday =
`(3)/(7)((7)/(10))`

Distance traveled on Sunday =
`(3)/(10)`

Fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday =
`(3)/(10)`

Hence 3/10 of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday
