Question

Pearls family traveled 5/8 of the distance to her grandmothers house on Saturday. They traveled 1/3 of the reaming distance on Sunday. What fraction of the total distance to her grandmothers house was traveled on Sunday

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Hello! In this problem, they are asking what fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday.

You can solve this question in a few steps:

1. We already know that she traveled 5/8 of the way to her grandma's house so now we know that there is 3/8 of the distance left to go.

2. In order to find how much she traveled, you can use the strategy below

Strategy

----------------

You can multiply 1/3 and 3/8 together to find out how much she traveled on Sunday:

`(1)/(3) *(3)/(8) =(3)/(24)`

This can be simplified to 1/8

So now we know our answer because out of the total amount which she had to drive which was
`(x)/(8\\)` (meaning the total distance was split into 8 parts), out of those 8 parts, she traveled 1 of those parts on Sunday

Hope this helped :)
