Answer 2

a standard football field is 120 yards x 53.3 yards = 6396 sq. yards

1 acre = 4840 sq. yards

therefore, 1 acre = 6396 / 4840 = 1.32 football field

98 million acres = approx. 130 million football fields

--------------------------------------...

OR you can say this:

since 1 acre = 0.004047 sq. kms

therefore 98 million acres = 396592 sq. kms

that's about HALF of the size of New South Wales (800628 sq. kms)  or 1/19 of the entire Australia (7659861 sq. kms)
