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
Approximately 1.5 acres would require roughly 65,340 square feet, which is more than double the actual area of this lot, making this answer a significant overestimate.
Approximately 0.34 acres
Approximately 0.34 acres corresponds to roughly 14,810 square feet, which is less than half the actual 30,000 square feet of this lot, making it a serious underestimate.
Approximately 2.0 acres
Approximately 2.0 acres would require 87,120 square feet, nearly three times the actual area of this lot, making this the most extreme overestimate among the choices.
Why is this correct?
Multiplying 150 feet by 200 feet yields 30,000 square feet, and dividing 30,000 by the standard conversion factor of 43,560 square feet per acre produces 0.6887 acres, which rounds to approximately 0.69 acres. This calculation is straightforward and relies on the universally accepted U.S. standard of 43,560 square feet equaling one acre.
