Answer

3 weeks and 4 days\text{3 weeks and 4 days}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Identify the total holiday duration and the duration spent at her grandmother's house.

    Total holiday duration = 7 weeks and 2 days
    Duration at grandmother's house = 3 weeks and 5 days

  2. Subtract the days.

    Since 2 days is less than 5 days, we need to borrow 1 week from the 7 weeks.
    1 week = 7 days.
    So, 7 weeks and 2 days becomes 6 weeks and (2+7)(2 + 7) days, which is 6 weeks and 9 days.

  3. Perform the subtraction for days and weeks.

    Subtract the days: 9 days−5 days=4 days9 \text{ days} - 5 \text{ days} = 4 \text{ days}
    Subtract the weeks: 6 weeks−3 weeks=3 weeks6 \text{ weeks} - 3 \text{ weeks} = 3 \text{ weeks}

  4. Combine the results to get the remaining holiday duration.

    The remaining holiday duration is 3 weeks and 4 days.

    The final answer is 3 weeks and 4 days\text{3 weeks and 4 days}.
