Answer:

737.97 acres

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.
