How can I find out about acres in sq. ft. a house lot is 2360 sq. ft. and the house is on 1432 how many acres are left?
I am a parent and I have forgotten how to find acres.
Thank you

Hi Helene

My Webster's dictionary says that an acre is 43 560 sq. ft. Thus there are 2360 - 1432 = 928 sq. ft. left or 928/43 560 = 0.0213 acres.

Cheers,
Penny
