An acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, and there are 5280 feet in a mile. If a farm has the shape of a rectangle measuring 0.7 mile by 0.9 mile, what is the area of the farm in acres? I've concluded that the area is 0.63 in miles. Just not sure how to convert into acres. Help please :)

.9 x 5280 = a
.7 x 5280 = b

area = L x w

a x b = how many square feet

Take 43,560/ your answer


I think that should work?

I'll work on that math. I appreciate your quick response!

Oh I think you divide your answer by 43,560. I got 403.2 acrea. Not sure if that's correct.
