Complete Question

Ballio's family traveled 3/10 of the distance to his aunt's house on Saturday. They traveled 4/7 of the remaining distance on Sunday. What fraction of the total distance to his aunt's house was traveled on Sunday?

Answer:

4/10

Explanation:

Let us represent, the total distance travelled as:

1

Ballio's family traveled 3/10 of the distance to his aunt's house on Saturday.

Distance left to travel = 1 - 3/10

= 7/10

They traveled 4 /7 of the remaining distance on Sunday.

The fraction of the total distance to his aunt's house was traveled on Sunday is calculated as:

4/7 × Distance left to travel

= 4/7 × 7/10

= 4/10
