If your tank holds 1200 gallons of spray solution and your sprayer delivers 30 gallons per acre, how much product should be added if the label states to use 2 quarts per acre?

If your tank holds 1200 gallons of spray solution and your sprayer delivers 30 gallons per acre, how much product should be added if the label states to use 2 quarts per acre?

• A. 10 gallons
• B. 15 gallons
• C. 20 gallons
• D. 25 gallons

Answer: (C)

To determine how much product should be added, we first need to calculate the total area that can be treated with the spray solution in the tank and then find out how much product is required for that area. The tank holds 1200 gallons of spray solution, and the sprayer delivers 30 gallons per acre. To find out how many acres the tank can treat, we divide the total volume of the tank by the application rate: \[ \text{Total Acres} = \frac{\text{Tank volume}}{\text{Delivery per acre}} = \frac{1200 \text{ gallons}}{30 \text{ gallons/acre}} = 40 \text{ acres} \] Next, the product label specifies that 2 quarts of product are needed per acre. Since there are 40 acres that can be treated, we multiply the number of acres by the amount of product required per acre: \[ \text{Total Product Required} = \text{Acres} \times \text{Product per Acre} = 40 \text{ acres} \times 2 \text{ quarts/acre} = 80 \text{ quarts} \] Now, to convert quarts to gallons (

To determine how much product should be added, we first need to calculate the total area that can be treated with the spray solution in the tank and then find out how much product is required for that area.

The tank holds 1200 gallons of spray solution, and the sprayer delivers 30 gallons per acre. To find out how many acres the tank can treat, we divide the total volume of the tank by the application rate:

[

\text{Total Acres} = \frac{\text{Tank volume}}{\text{Delivery per acre}} = \frac{1200 \text{ gallons}}{30 \text{ gallons/acre}} = 40 \text{ acres}

]

Next, the product label specifies that 2 quarts of product are needed per acre. Since there are 40 acres that can be treated, we multiply the number of acres by the amount of product required per acre:

[

\text{Total Product Required} = \text{Acres} \times \text{Product per Acre} = 40 \text{ acres} \times 2 \text{ quarts/acre} = 80 \text{ quarts}

]

Now, to convert quarts to gallons (
