Denice's family traveled 5 7 of the distance to her uncle's house on saturday. they traveled 1 2 of the remaining distance on sunday. what fraction of the total distance to her uncle's house was traveled on sunday?

Okay, lets get started:

Let the total distance to her uncle's house is x.

On Saturday, they traveled 5/7 of totat distance means 5/7 * x = 5x / 7

So, the remaining distance would be x - 5x/7 = 2x / 7

They have traveled half of remaining distance on Sunday

means 1/2 * 2x/7 = x/7

It means 1/7 fraction of total distance traveled on Sunday. : Answer

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
