Answer:
737.97 acres
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Approximately 83% of a large western state land is federally owned.
Total land in percentage will be 100%
% of land not federally owned = Total land in percentage - % of land federally owned = 100% - 83% = 17%
Thus, percentage of land not federally owned = 17% of total land
Also given "A large western state consist of 4341 million acres of land"
Therefore,
number of acres that are not federally owned = 17% of total western state land
number of acres that are not federally owned = 17/100 * 4341 = 737.97
Thus, 737.97 acres of western state land are not federally owned.
