It would give the answer in hectares, you have to convert it to acres afterward

p0sitr0n · Answer

1 acre = 0.4047 hectares

anonymous · Answer

so if 1 ha = 2.47 acres would i divide 2.47 by 3.5 billion

p0sitr0n · Answer

1acre^2 = 0.1638 ha
u have to square the raito

p0sitr0n · Answer

so 1 ha = 6.1 acres^2
7 billions * 6.1 acres^2 ( or * 2.47 if you need only acres)

p0sitr0n · Answer

ok, so its 7 billions * 2.47
