WSDA Pest Control Operator (PCO) Practice Exam

How many acres are in 2 square miles?

2560 acres 1280 acres 640 acres 960 acres

Correct Answer:

1280 acres

Explanation:

Understanding how to convert square miles to acres is about knowing the standard relationship between these units. One square mile contains 640 acres, so two square miles equal 1,280 acres. You can verify this by comparing areas in square feet: a square mile is 5,280 feet on each side, giving 27,878,400 square feet. Since an acre is 43,560 square feet, 27,878,400 ÷ 43,560 = 640. Doubling the area to two square miles gives 1,280 acres.
