Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.002: 40 × 0.002 ≈ 0.08 mi2, against the exact 0.0625 mi2 (28.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A acre is smaller than a square mile, so the number of square miles must come out smaller than the number of acres. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
