A football field is 120 yards by 53.333 yards. What is the area of the football field in acres if 1 acre=43560 ft? Use correct

significant figures when answering this question.

1.3223 acres

Explanation:

a football field's area is 360 feet (120 yards) x 160 feet (53.333 yards) = 57,600 sq. feet

if the area of an acre is 43,560 sq. feet, then a football field in acres = 57,600 sq. feet / 43,560 sq. feet = 1.3223 acres

we can verify our answer by doing the same calculation in sq. yards:

football field = 120 yards x 53.33 yards = 6,400 sq. yards

an acre is 4,840 sq. yards

football field in acres = 6,400 sq. yards / 4,840 sq. yards = 1.3223 acres
