Answer 1

Answer 2

The smallest of the 50 states is Rhode Island, with an area of 1,223 square miles.

The second smallest of the 50 states is Delaware, with an area of 2,026 square miles.

One million acres is equivalent to 1,562.5 square miles.

That amount of area accounts for Rhode Island and 16.8 percent of Delaware.

If you start with the smallest state, the answer is 1.168 states.

If you don't start with the smallest state, then the answer is zero, because 1 million acres
only covers 77.1 percent of the second smallest state.

It can also cover 0.27 percent of Alaska, 0.59 percent of Texas, 24.2 percent of Hawaii, etc.

Answer 3

Approximately 9 U.S. states could fit into 1 million acres. The land area of a state can vary, so this is an estimate based on the average size of a state, which is around 110,000 square miles.
