Convert 26,900 acres/week to
_____ m^2/minute
1 acre = 4840 yard^2 (from the information given).
Multiply that by 9 ft^2/yd^2,and you get
= 43,560 ft^2 x 144 in^2/ft^2
= 6,272,640 in^2 x (2.54)^2 cm^2/in^2
= 40,468,564 cm^2
= 4046.9 m^2
1 week = 10,080 minutes
[26,900 acres/week / 10,080 min/week] * 4046.9 m^2/acre = ______ m^2/min
