A copper wire that is 27 km has a resistance of about 450 Ω. Consider a parallel connection of three resistors with resistances equal to 1.0, 2.0, and 0.50 times the resistance of the copper wire, respectively. What is the equivalent resistance?

the equivalent resistance of the parallel connection of the three resistors is approximately 128.6 Ω (to two significant figures).
