Question

Brad's family traveled

2
7
of the distance to his uncle’s house on Saturday. They traveled
4
5
of the remaining distance on Sunday. What fraction of the total distance to his uncle’s house was traveled on Sunday?

Answer 1

Answer : 4/7

Here it's given that Brad's family travelled 2/7 of the total distance to his uncle's house on Saturday . So if we assume the total distance to be 1 , then the remaining distance will be ,

`\sf\longrightarrow 1 - (2)/(7)=(7-2)/(7)=\boxed{(5)/(7)}`

Again it's given that they travelled 4/5 of the remaining distance on Sunday . So , the distance travelled would be ,

`\sf\longrightarrow (4)/(5)* (5)/(7)=\boxed{\sf (4)/(7)}`

Therefore Brad's family travelled 4/7 of the total distance on Sunday .
