A large western state consists of 3129 million acres of land. Approximately 55% of this land is federally owned. Find the number of acres that are not federally owned

1408.5 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

If 55% of the land is federally owned, then 100 - 55 = 45% of the land is not federally owned.

We need to find how many acres are not federally owned, in other words, we need to find how many acres represent 45% of the total 3129 acres. So, to do this we can apply a rule of three:

3129 acres ---- 100%

x acres     ------ 45%

Therefore, the total of acres that are not federally owned are 1408.5 acres.
