How many square feet could be treated with one gallon if the application rate is 4 ounces per 100 square feet?

• A. 1,600 sq ft
• B. 2,000 sq ft
• C. 3,200 sq ft
• D. 4,000 sq ft

Answer: (C)

To determine how many square feet can be treated with one gallon when the application rate is 4 ounces per 100 square feet, we start by recognizing that there are 128 ounces in one gallon. First, we find out how many 4-ounce increments are in the entire gallon: \[ \text{Number of 4-ounce applications in 1 gallon} = \frac{128 \text{ ounces}}{4 \text{ ounces/application}} = 32 \text{ applications} \] Next, since each application covers 100 square feet, we calculate the total area that can be treated: \[ \text{Total area} = 32 \text{ applications} \times 100 \text{ square feet/application} = 3,200 \text{ square feet} \] This calculation shows that one gallon can effectively treat 3,200 square feet at the specified application rate of 4 ounces per 100 square feet. Thus, this confirms that the correct answer is indeed 3,200 square feet.

To determine how many square feet can be treated with one gallon when the application rate is 4 ounces per 100 square feet, we start by recognizing that there are 128 ounces in one gallon.

First, we find out how many 4-ounce increments are in the entire gallon:

[

\text{Number of 4-ounce applications in 1 gallon} = \frac{128 \text{ ounces}}{4 \text{ ounces/application}} = 32 \text{ applications}

]

Next, since each application covers 100 square feet, we calculate the total area that can be treated:

[

\text{Total area} = 32 \text{ applications} \times 100 \text{ square feet/application} = 3,200 \text{ square feet}

]

This calculation shows that one gallon can effectively treat 3,200 square feet at the specified application rate of 4 ounces per 100 square feet. Thus, this confirms that the correct answer is indeed 3,200 square feet.
