How many football fields does 100 square miles equal?

Answer 1

Before calculating, it is easier to convert sizes to similar units, in this case, feet. 1 sq. mile = 5280 feet x 5280 feet = 27,878,400 sq.ft. 100 sq. miles = 27,878,400 sq. ft. x 100 = 2,787,840,000 sq. ft. 1 football field (including end zones) = 360 ft. long by 160 ft. wide = 57,600 sq.ft. 100 sq. miles divided by 1 football field = x x = how many football fields fit into 100 square miles 2,787,840,000 sq. ft. divided by 57,600 sq. ft. = 48,400 football fields Therefore, 100 square miles = 48,400 football fields However . . . If endzones are not included in the calculation, then the size of one field = 300 ft. x 160 ft. = 48,000 sq. ft. 2,787,840,000 sq. ft. divided by 48,000 sq. ft. = 58,080 football fields Therefore, 100 square miles = 58,080 football fields
