Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.0002: 40 × 0.0002 ≈ 0.008 ac, against the exact 0.00826446 ac (3.2% 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 yard is smaller than a acre, so the number of acres must come out smaller than the number of square yards. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
