First, you need to look for the width of the parallelogram because you already know the length which is 20.5 in
Given that 50.5 in wide and the gap in between each measures 4.25 in.
There are two gaps so 2 × 4.25 = 8.5 in
Subtract this from the total width of 50.5 in so that you're only left with the real measures for the width of the three parallelogram
50.5 - 8.5 = 42 inches
The total width of the three parallelogram without the two gaps is 42 inches.
Divide this in three so that you're left with the width for only one parallelogram.
42 ÷ 3 = 14 inches
Now the length is 20.5in and the width is 14 in.
The area formula is A = l × w
A = 20.5 × 14
A = 287 square inches
3/5 is the greatest because when you change 3/5 to percantage, it will be 60%.
Answer: 13.722 km ; or, write as: 13 13/18 km .

Explanation:
___________________________________________________
Area = Length * width ;
___________________________________________________
or, write as: A = L * w ;
________________________
Given: A = 247 km² ;
L = 18 km ;
w = "y" ;
________________________
Find: "y"
______________________________
A = L * w ;
______________________________
Plug in our values:
______________________________
247 km² = 18 km * "y" ; solve for "y" (in units of "km") ;
_____________________________
18 y = 247 ;
___________________________________________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "18"; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" :
___________________________________________________________
18 y / 18 = 247 / 18 ;
_____________________________________________
to get:
_____________________________________________
y = 13.7222222222222222...... km ; round to: 13.722 km
or; y = 13 13/18 km .

Depth of the well=30 feet
length the snail ascends during day = 3 feet
length it descends at night = 2 feet
therefore, the equivalent length it covers at the end of the day=(3-2)feet = 1 feet
So, After 27 days it will cover: 27 feet
Then, the next day it will cover : (27+3) feet = 30 feet
Therefore, the snail takes (27+1)days i.e. 28 days to climb out of the well.......
