Question

Mara spent 3/5 of her vacation in British Columbia. While in that province, she spent 1/2 of her time in Vancouver. What fraction of her vacation did Michaela spend in Vancouver? If her vacation lasted 20 days, how many days did she spend in Vancouver?

Answer 1

6 days

Explanation:

Data given:

Vancouver is in the British Columbia

3/5 of the vacation was spent in British Columbia

1/2 of the time spent in British Columbia was spent in Vancouver.

The whole vacation was 20 days long

total days spent in British Columbia = 3/5 *20

total days spent in British Columbia = 12

Since the 1/2 of the time in British Columbia was spent in Vancouver then

time spent in Vancouver = 1/2 * 12

time spent in Vancouver =6 days
