Hope this helps!

area = length times width, so length = area / width
5 1/5 mi^2 5.2 mi^2
Here, length = ------------------- = --------------- = 2.66666... mi = 2 2/3 mi (answer)
1 19/20 mi 1.95 mi
The equation is 314 = 1,200 - 240x
1,200 is the number of M&M's it starts with
The problem said the family eats 1/5th of the candy every day
1/5 of 1,200 is 240
It is a -240 because the amount of m&m's is getting fewer each day
The x stands for the number of days
Sorry but I'm not sure if I could answer your problem exactly
The answer is 3.69 days
Because there isn't an exact day that there would exactly 314 M&M's left
