First, convert the price from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars: 5800 Canadian dollars * (1 U.S. dollar / 0.9965 Canadian dollars) = 5821.68 U.S. dollars. Then, convert square kilometers to square miles: 0.5 square kilometers * (1 square mile / 2.58999 square kilometers) = 0.19305 square miles. Finally, calculate the price per square mile: 5821.68 U.S. dollars / 0.19305 square miles = $30,147.74 per square mile.
