Answer 1

a mile is a distance and an acre is an area. you need two distances to work out the size of an area.  A square mile would be about 640acres

There is no comparison to make. An Acre is a Square measurement whereas a Mile is a Linear measurement.

Answer 3

I would say that there are a lot of acres in a mile if your walking across country or up a lumpy bumpy road.. and no acres in a mile if your driving or flying that mile... part from that i dont do the whole math thing, and dont know and cant be annoyed looking for a copy paste type answer thing lol.

Answer 4

There are 4,840 square yards in an acre.

There are 1,760 yards in a mile.

You do the math.

Answer 5

None   Acres are a measure of area whereas miles are a measure of distance.

Answer 6

If you want to be picky there are no acres in a mile. A mile is a measure of length.  An acre is a measure of area.  If you want to know how many acres are in a square mile there are 640.  In real estate terms one square mile is also known as a section.

  The 160 acre parcels that the government used to give away under the homestead act were 1/4 section and the common 40 acre parcel is 1/4 of that.

Answer 7

1 mile square = 640 acres
