How many acers are there in a Statue Mile?

Question

Sorry, Spelled it wrong! What I meant to say was ACRE!

Answer 1

How can you convert a unit of linear distance - statute mile- into a unit of area - acre?
According to the source below [I hate cut/paste answers but I am guilty of it this time]:
acre (ac or A)
a unit of area used for measuring real estate in English-speaking countries. "Acre," an Old English word meaning a field, is derived from the Latin ager and Greek agros, also meaning a field. The acre was originally defined as the area that could be plowed in a day by a yoke of oxen. It was in use in England at least as early as the eighth century, and by the end of the ninth century it was generally understood to be the area of a field one furlong (40 rods or 10 chains) long by 4 rods (or 1 chain) wide. Thus an acre is 10 square chains, 160 square rods, 43 560 square feet or 4840 square yards. There are exactly 640 acres in a square mile. In metric countries the unit corresponding to the acre is the hectare, which is 10,000 square meters (the area of a square 100 meters on each side). One acre is equal to 0.404 687 3 hectare. Among traditional European land area units, the acre is typical in being defined as a day's work but unusual in not being visualized as the area of a square. Similar units include the French journal, north German and Dutch morgen, south German and Swiss juchart, Austrian joch, and Czech jitro.
AND
... In 1592, Parliament settled the question in England by defining the statute mile to be 8 furlongs, 80 chains, 320 rods, 1760 yards or 5280 feet. The statute mile is exactly 1609.344 meters.
See they just don't mix.

Answer 2

You meant 'acres' of course, and since an acre is a measure of area, and a statute (not 'statue') mile is a measure of distance, they are measured in different units and the question cannot be answered.

It's kind of like answering, how many feet in 10 pounds? There is no answer.

If you asked, how many acres in a square mile, at least they are both area measures, so the question has an answer (and I'll leave it to the next person to answer it!).

Answer 3

Cannot be answered. A mile is distance and doesn't have a width. An acre is a square footage (43,560 sf). It has a width and length. The two are opposite and cannot be compared. No answer.

Answer 4

There are 640 acres in one square statute mile.

Answer 5

What the heck is an acer? Did you make that up?
