A lot measures 150 feet by 200 feet. How many acres is this?
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Approximately 0.69 acres
Approximately 1.5 acres
This answer incorrectly doubles the actual result. Students might mistakenly use 21,780 sq ft per acre instead of 43,560, or they might have multiplied the dimensions incorrectly by using 200 x 200 instead of 150 x 200.
Approximately 0.34 acres
This answer is approximately half the correct value. Students might have incorrectly divided by 87,120 (double the correct conversion factor) or made a calculation error in the division step.
Approximately 2.0 acres
This answer is nearly triple the correct value. Students might have forgotten to divide by the conversion factor at all, or used 15,000 sq ft per acre instead of 43,560, significantly overestimating the acreage.
Why is this correct?
Area = 150 x 200 = 30,000 sq ft. Acres = 30,000 / 43,560 = 0.689 acres (approximately 0.69 acres).
