Answer:

The fraction of the total distance to her uncle's house that was traveled on Sunday is 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance from Madison house to her uncle is 1 unit

She travels 5/7th of the total distance on Saturday

Remaining distance = $1-\frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7}$

She travels 1/2 of the remaining distance on Sunday.

Hence, the fraction of the total distance to her uncle's house that was traveled on Sunday is 1/2 * 2/7 = 1/7
