A husband and wife own a piece of property that measures 1 mile by 1 mile. How many acres do they own?

  1. 320 acres

  2. 640 acres

  3. 1280 acres

  4. 160 acres

The correct answer is: 640 acres

To determine the number of acres owned by the husband and wife, we can start by calculating the area of the property in square miles. Since the property measures 1 mile by 1 mile, the total area is 1 square mile. Next, we need to convert square miles into acres. One square mile is equivalent to 640 acres. Therefore, since the property measures 1 square mile, it directly converts to 640 acres. This calculation shows that the total area they own is indeed 640 acres, which corresponds with the correct answer. Understanding this measurement conversion is crucial in real estate, as land is often measured in both acres and square miles.
