Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

In today's crossword puzzle, the clue is "A football field is about 32% larger than one" and the answer for this clue is "ACRE". Let's explore why this answer fits the clue.

1. A football field is a standardized playing area for the sport of American football. It measures 100 yards in length and 53.3 yards in width.

2. To calculate the size of a football field in square yards, we multiply the length (100 yards) by the width (53.3 yards). The result is 5,330 square yards.

3. The clue states that a football field is about 32% larger than one. Therefore, we need to find the size of something that is 32% smaller than a football field.

4. An acre is a unit of area commonly used in land measurement. It is equal to 43,560 square feet or approximately 4,047 square meters.

5. Let's compare the size of a football field with an acre. If we divide the size of a football field (5,330 square yards) by 43,560, we get approximately 0.122 acres.

6. Now, let's calculate 32% of 0.122 acres. By multiplying 0.122 acres by 0.32, we get approximately 0.039 acres.

7. Finally, if we subtract 0.039 acres from 0.122 acres, we get approximately 0.083 acres. This means that a football field is about 32% larger than 0.083 acres.
