 Um... According to my
 sources, 1 hectare is approximately 2.5 acres. I think
 you're getting mixed up between metres squared and
 square metres - 1 hectare is 100m squared, not 100 square
 metres.

 No, but it only requires a bit of work with a
 calculator...

 5280 feet in a mile * 12 in * 2.54 cm = 160934.4

 divide by 100 to get meters = 1609.344

 squared for a square mile = ~2.58999e6

 divided by 640 acres = ~4046 m^2

 divided by 100 = ~40.46 hectares to the acre.
