Answer 1

To find the percent of the land that is available for farming, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Farming Land}}{\text{Total Land}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case:

• Farming Land = 20 acres
• Total Land = 30 acres

Substituting the values in:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{20}{30} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{2}{3} \right) \times 100 \approx 66.67% \]

So the answer is approximately 66.67%, which corresponds to 66.66¯¯¯¯¯ % with a repeating decimal.
