Answer:

33,920 acres of forest were burned.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, since you know that a square mile is equal to 640 acres, you can use a rule of three to find the acres that are equivalent to 53 square miles:

    1 square mile    →    640 acres

53 square miles    →         x

x=(53*640)/1

x=33,920 acres

According to this, the answer is that 33,920 acres of forest were burned.
