In a day, there are 24 hours. So individual spend 5/12 of a day in amusement park means that 5/12 of 24 hours in amusement park.

Determine the number of hours individual spent in amusement park.


\begin{gathered} (5)/(12)\cdot24=5\cdot2 \\ =10 \end{gathered}

Individual spend 2/5 of the time is riding water.

Determine 2/5 of 10 hours to determine the time spend by individual for riding water.


\begin{gathered} (2)/(5)\cdot10=2\cdot2 \\ =4 \end{gathered}

So individual spend 4 hours on riding water slides.
