Answer

Jeff could place three $300~\Omega$ resistors in the circuit in parallel.

Work Step by Step

Jeff could place three $300~\Omega$ resistors in the circuit in parallel. We can find the equivalent resistance $R$: $\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{300}+ \frac{1}{300}+ \frac{1}{300} = \frac{1}{100}$ Then, $R = 100~\Omega$.
