Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 4e-8: 40 × 4e-8 ≈ 0.0000016 mi2, against the exact 0.00000143 mi2 (11.5% 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 square foot is smaller than a square mile, so the number of square miles must come out smaller than the number of square feet. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
