If one slave could work three acres of cotton, a plantation owner with 500 acres of land would need approximately 167 slaves. Here's the calculation:
Number of slaves = Total acres of land / Acres of land one slave can work
Number of slaves = 500 acres / 3 acres
Number of slaves ≈ 166.67
Therefore, the plantation owner would need around 167 slaves to tend to his 500 acres of land.
