Visit to grandfather

Shane's family travelled 3/10 of the distance to his grandfather's house on Saturday. On Sunday, they travelled 4/7 of the remaining distance. What fraction of the total distance was travelled on Sunday?

Final Answer:

x =  2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{3}{10}=0.3 \\ r=1-a=1-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{1\cdot 10}{10}-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{10}{10}-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{10-3}{10}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7 \\ x=\frac{4}{7}\cdot r=\frac{4}{7}\cdot \frac{7}{10}=\frac{4\cdot 7}{7\cdot 10}=\frac{28}{70}=\frac{2}{5}=0.4 \end{gathered}$$
