630 acres

Since 1 cow takes
(1)/(3) of an acre for grazing that means you can have 3 cattle per acre so simply do 210×3 to get 630

Answer:

630 cows

Explanation:

To find the number of cows the land can support, we take the number of acres and divide by the number of acres per cow

210 acres ÷1/3 acre per cow

Copy dot flip

210 * 3/1 = 630 cows
