Question

Jacob's family traveled 2/7 of the distance to his grandfather's house on Saturday. They traveled 2/5 of the remaining distance on Sunday. What fraction of the total distance to his grandfather's house was traveled on Sunday?

Answer 1

2/7

Explanation:

on Saturday, the family drove 2/7 of the total distance

distance remaining after Saturday's trip = 1 - 2/ 7 = 5/7

On Sunday, they drove 2/5 of the remaining distance =
`(2)/(5) x (5)/(7) = (2)/(7)`
