Let’s solve this step by step.

We have 4 families: Smiths, Johnsons, Clarks, Adams.
They went to 4 places: Florida, Arizona, California, Canada.
Vacation lengths: 2, 4, 6, or 8 days.

We’ll use the clues one by one to fill in the grid.

---

Clue 1: The Smiths were on vacation 2 days longer than the family that visited Florida.

→ So Smiths ≠ Florida (obviously), and if Florida = X days, Smiths = X + 2.

Possible pairs:
- If Florida = 2 → Smiths = 4
- If Florida = 4 → Smiths = 6
- If Florida = 6 → Smiths = 8
- Florida can’t be 8 (no 10-day option)

So possible: (Florida=2, Smiths=4), (Florida=4, Smiths=6), (Florida=6, Smiths=8)

---

Clue 2: The family that went for 4 days visited California.

→ So whoever has 4 days → California.

That means California = 4 days.

So we can mark: California → 4 days.

Now, from Clue 1: Smiths = Florida + 2.

But California is already taken by 4 days → so Smiths cannot be 4 days? Wait — no, Smiths could still be 4 days only if Florida = 2. But if California = 4, then Smiths can’t be California unless they’re the 4-day family.

Wait — let’s think:

If Smiths = 4 days → then they must have gone to California (from Clue 2). But Clue 1 says Smiths = Florida + 2 → so Florida would be 2 days.

Is that possible? Let’s hold that thought.

Alternatively, if Smiths = 6 → Florida = 4 → but California = 4 → conflict! Because Florida and California can’t both be 4 days.

Similarly, if Smiths = 8 → Florida = 6 → possible.

So two options:

Option A: Florida = 2, Smiths = 4 → but then Smiths = California (from Clue 2) → so Smiths = California = 4 days, Florida = 2 days.

Option B: Florida = 6, Smiths = 8 → then California = 4 (from Clue 2), so Florida = 6, Smiths = 8, California = 4 → leaves 2 days for someone else.

Let’s keep both open for now.

---

Clue 3: The Clark family visited a destination that starts with “C”.

Destinations: Florida, Arizona, California, Canada → “C” ones: California, Canada.

So Clark → California or Canada.

---

Clue 4: The Johnson family went to Florida for more than 3 days.

→ Johnson → Florida, and days > 3 → so 4, 6, or 8 days.

But from Clue 2: 4 days → California → so Johnson can’t be 4 days if they went to Florida.

So Johnson → Florida, and days = 6 or 8.

---

Clue 5: The Adams family went to California to visit their grandparents.

→ Adams → California.

And from Clue 2: California = 4 days → so Adams = 4 days.

Great! So:

Adams → California → 4 days.

Now, from Clue 3: Clark → California or Canada → but California is taken by Adams → so Clark → Canada.

So Clark → Canada.

Now, destinations left: Florida, Arizona.

Families left: Smiths, Johnsons.

From Clue 4: Johnson → Florida, and >3 days → so 6 or 8.

From Clue 1: Smiths = Florida + 2.

But Johnson is going to Florida → so Florida = Johnson’s days.

So Smiths = Johnson’s days + 2.

Johnson’s days = 6 or 8.

If Johnson = 6 → Smiths = 8.

If Johnson = 8 → Smiths = 10 → impossible.

So Johnson = 6 → Smiths = 8.

Then Florida = 6 days (Johnson).

Smiths = 8 days.

What destination for Smiths? Not Florida (Johnson), not California (Adams), not Canada (Clark) → so Smiths → Arizona.

And days: 8.

Now, what’s left?

Families:

- Adams → California → 4 days

- Clark → Canada → ? days

- Johnson → Florida → 6 days

- Smiths → Arizona → 8 days

Days used: 4, 6, 8 → left: 2 days → must be Clark → Canada → 2 days.

Check Clue 1: Smiths (8) = Florida (6) + 2 → yes.

Clue 2: 4 days → California → Adams → yes.

Clue 3: Clark → Canada → starts with C → yes.

Clue 4: Johnson → Florida → 6 days > 3 → yes.

Clue 5: Adams → California → yes.

Perfect.

Now, let’s fill the grid:

Rows: Smith, Johnson, Clark, Adams

Columns: Florida, Arizona, California, Canada, 2 days, 4 days, 6 days, 8 days

We need to mark where each family went and how long.

Smiths: Arizona, 8 days → so check Arizona and 8 days

Johnsons: Florida, 6 days → Florida and 6 days

Clarks: Canada, 2 days → Canada and 2 days

Adams: California, 4 days → California and 4 days

Now, let’s write it clearly.

Final assignments:

- Smiths: Arizona, 8 days
- Johnsons: Florida, 6 days
- Clarks: Canada, 2 days
- Adams: California, 4 days

All clues satisfied.

Final Answer:
Smiths: Arizona, 8 days
Johnsons: Florida, 6 days
Clarks: Canada, 2 days
Adams: California, 4 days
