Questions: A large western state consists of 3321 million acres of land. Approximately 41% of this land is federally owned. Find the number of acres that are not federally owned. million acres (Type an integer or a decimal. Round the final answer to two decimal places as needed. Round all intermediate values to two decimal places as needed.)

Solution Steps

To find the number of acres that are federally owned, we calculate \( 41\% \) of the total land area: \[ \text{Federally Owned Acres} = 3321 \times \frac{41}{100} = 1361.61 \text{ million acres} \]

Next, we determine the number of acres that are not federally owned by subtracting the federally owned acres from the total land area: \[ \text{Non-Federally Owned Acres} = 3321 - 1361.61 = 1959.39 \text{ million acres} \]

Finally, we round the number of non-federally owned acres to two decimal places: \[ \text{Non-Federally Owned Acres} \approx 1959.39 \text{ million acres} \]
