Answer:Lupe's family traveled 5/7 of the total distance to her aunt's house on Saturday, so the remaining distance was 1 - (5/7) = 2/7.

On Sunday, they traveled 1/2 of the remaining distance, which was 2/7, so the total distance traveled on Sunday was 1/2 * 2/7 = 2/14 of the total distance.

Explanation:

Lupe's family traveled 5/7 of the total distance to her aunt's house on Saturday, so the remaining distance was 1 - (5/7) = 2/7.

On Sunday, they traveled 1/2 of the remaining distance, which was 2/7, so the total distance traveled on Sunday was 1/2 * 2/7 = 2/14 of the total distance. :D
