Question

We mentioned earlier that one section is a square mile or 640 acres. Using the same parcel of land as the previous question, determine how many acres it is.

Answer 1

To determine the number of acres in a given parcel of land, multiply the area in square miles by the conversion factor of 640 acres per square mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many acres are in a given parcel of land, we need to convert the area of the parcel from square miles to acres. Since one section is a square mile or 640 acres, we can use this conversion factor to find the number of acres in the given parcel of land.

Let's say the area of the given parcel of land is x square miles. To convert the area from square miles to acres, we can multiply x by the conversion factor:

x acres = x square miles * 640 acres/square mile

So, the given parcel of land is x * 640 acres.
