Answer:
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%
[tex]x=\frac{(3129)(45)}{100} =3129(0.45)= 1408.05[/tex]
Therefore, the total of acres that are not federally owned are 1408.5 acres.
