What is the square footage of 1.5 acres?

• A. 43,560 ft^2
• B. 87,120 ft^2
• C. 65,340 ft^2
• D. 130,680 ft^2

Answer: (C)

Converting acres to square feet is the skill here. An acre equals 43,560 square feet, so 1.5 acres is 43,560 multiplied by 1.5, which equals 65,340 square feet. This is the correct square footage for 1.5 acres. The other numbers correspond to whole-number acre amounts: 43,560 ft^2 is 1 acre, 87,120 ft^2 is 2 acres, and 130,680 ft^2 is 3 acres.
