Answer 1

To find the percentage of land that can be farmed, 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

Now plugging in the values:

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

So the percentage of the land available for farming is approximately \(66.67%\).

Therefore, the correct choice from the options provided is:

66.66¯¯¯¯¯ % (since the repeating bar indicates that the decimal continues).
