How many acres in one mile?

Answer 1

"Acre" is an area, but "mile" is just a distance, so they don't convert. If they could,

then you'd be able to go into a hardware store and buy an acre of rope.

Now, if you have a square piece of land that's a mile long and a mile wide, the area

of that is one square mile, and there are 640 acres of area in it.

Answer 2

An acre is a measure of area, and a mile is a measure of distance. An acre can take any shape as long as it is 43,560 square feet, and therefore can be a mile long or 100 feet long, depending on the dimensions.

Answer 3

An acre is a measure of area, not distance. Therefore a similar conversion would be in square miles, not simply miles.

Cancelled down to two significant figures, one acre is equal to 0.0016 square miles.

Answer 4

And acre is a unit of area. A mile is a unit of distance.

Answer 5

There is not enough information available to definitively answer this question.

Answer 6

A mile is a unit of distance. An acre is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.

There are 640 acres in one square mile.
