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

Respuesta :

Answer: The fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday = [tex]\dfrac18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

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

As per given,

Distance traveled on Saturday = [tex]\dfrac58x[/tex]

Remaining distance = [tex]x-\dfrac58 x[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac38x[/tex]

Distance traveled of Sunday = [tex]\dfrac13[/tex] of Remaining distance

= [tex]\dfrac13\times\dfrac{3}{8}x[/tex]

= [tex]\dfrac18 x[/tex]

The fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday = [tex]\dfrac18[/tex]
