The average U.S. farm occupies 435 acres. How many square miles is this? (1 acre = 43,560 ft2, 1 mile = 5280 ft)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by converting acres to square feet using the conversion factor: 1 acre = 43,560 ft^2. Multiply 435 acres by 43,560 ft^2/acre to find the total area in square feet.
Next, convert square feet to square miles. First, find the conversion factor for square feet to square miles. Since 1 mile = 5280 ft, 1 square mile = (5280 ft)^2.
Calculate the total number of square feet in one square mile by squaring 5280 ft.
Divide the total area in square feet (from step 1) by the number of square feet in one square mile (from step 3) to convert the area from square feet to square miles.
The result from step 4 will give you the area of the farm in square miles.
