1 mile=5280 feet
Therefore 44 square miles = %2844mi%5E2%29%2A%28%285280ft%29%2F%281mi%29%29%2A%285280ft%2F1mi%29 This equals:
1,226,649,600 square feet.
100cm=1m
3500cm%5E2=%283500cm%5E2%29%281m%2F100cm%29%281m%2F100cm%29=.35m%5E2

1.Use 2 unit multipliers to convert 44 square miles to square feet
---
44(miles^2)(5280ft/1mile)(5280ft/1mile)
---
= (44*5280^2)(ft)^2)
---
= 1,226,649,600 sq ft.
-----------------------------------

2.Use 2 unit multipliers to convert 3500 square centimeters to square meters.
---
[3500(cm)^2][1meter/100cm]^2
---
= (3500*1*1)/(100^2)(meter)^2
----
= 3500/10000 m^2
---
= 0.35 sq. meters
