Total U.S. farmland occupies 954 million acres. How many square miles is this? (1 acre = 43,560 ft^2 , 1 mile= 5280 ft ).
954,000,000acres(43560ft^2/acre)*(1mile/5280ft)^2
7889
To convert acres to square miles, we need to know the conversion factor from acres to square feet, then from square feet to square miles. Given that 1 acre is equal to 43,560 square feet and 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet, we can determine the number of square miles.
First, let's convert acres to square feet:
954 million acres * 43,560 square feet/acre = 41,592,240,000,000 square feet
Next, we can convert square feet to square miles:
41,592,240,000,000 square feet / (5,280 ft/mile)^2 = 1,342,107.14 square miles
Therefore, total U.S. farmland occupies approximately 1,342,107.14 square miles.
To find the answer, we need to convert acres to square miles.
Given:
Total U.S. farmland = 954 million acres
First, let's convert acres to square feet.
1 acre = 43,560 square feet
So, the total U.S. farmland in square feet is:
954 million acres * 43,560 square feet = 41,574,240,000,000 square feet
Now, let's convert square feet to square miles.
1 mile = 5,280 feet
To convert square feet to square miles, we divide by the number of square feet in a square mile:
41,574,240,000,000 square feet / (5,280 feet * 5,280 feet) = 784,080 square miles
Therefore, the total U.S. farmland occupies approximately 784,080 square miles.
