1 mile: 5280 feet
1 mile * 1 mile: 1 mile * 5280 feet
1 mile * 1 mile: 5280 feet * 5280 feet
1 square mile: 27878400 square feet
27878400 square feet: 1 square mile
27878400/27878400 square feet: 1/27878400 square mile
1 square foot: 1/27878400 square miles
1 square foot: 0.00000003587007 square miles
144*1 square foot: 144*0.00000003587007 square miles
144 square feet: 0.00000516529009 square miles
144 square feet: 5.16529009 * 10^(-6) square miles
144 square feet: 5.17 * 10^(-6) square miles
