New Jersey Real Estate License Exam Practice Question
Which of the following formulas is used to determine the number of acres in a parcel of land?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To determine the number of acres in a parcel of land, the formula involves converting square feet to acres. Since one acre is defined as 43,560 square feet, dividing the total square feet by this number accurately provides the acreage.
Option A, length times width, calculates the area in square feet but does not convert to acres. Option B, square feet divided by 640, incorrectly uses the number of square feet in a square mile (which is 27,878,400) rather than in an acre. Option C, square miles times 1,296, is irrelevant as it does not relate to acres directly and uses an incorrect conversion factor.
