Family spent 4 days in belize and 14.4 days in costa rica and 1.8 days in each guatemala, honduras, and nicaragua
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
You have 24 days for your trip
Total number of days = 24 days
<em><u>You spend 1/6 of the time in belize</u></em>
Therefore,
![\text{Time spent in belize } = \frac{1}{6} \times 24 = 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BTime%20spent%20in%20belize%20%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B6%7D%20%5Ctimes%2024%20%3D%204)
Thus, they spend 4 days in belize
3/5ths of the time in costa rica
Therefore,
![\text{Time spent in costa rica } = \frac{3}{5} \times 24 = 14.4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BTime%20spent%20in%20costa%20rica%20%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B5%7D%20%5Ctimes%2024%20%3D%2014.4)
Thus, they spend 14.4 days in costa rica
The remaining time split between guatemala, honduras, and nicaragua
Remaining = 24 - (4 + 14.4) = 24 - 18.4 = 5.6 days
5.6 days split between guatemala, honduras, and nicaragua
![\rightarrow \frac{5.6}{3} = 1.8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crightarrow%20%5Cfrac%7B5.6%7D%7B3%7D%20%3D%201.8)
Thus, they spent 4 days in belize and 14.4 days in costa rica and 1.8 days in each guatemala, honduras, and nicaragua
