Answer

The fraction of the total distance to his grandmother's house that was travelled on Sunday = ¼

Step-by-step explanation

Let the whole distance be x

Hector's family travelled (5/8) of the distance to his grandmother's house on Saturday. That is, they travelled (5x/8)

The remaining distance = x - (5x/8) = (3x/8)

They then travelled (2/3) of the remaining distance on Sunday

(2/3) of the rest = (2/3) × (3x/8) = (x/4)

So,

The fraction of the total distance to his grandmother's house that was travelled on Sunday = ¼

Hope this Helps!!!
