How much pesticide will you need to add per tank if the label recommends 4 quarts of product per acre?

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

Answer: (C)

To figure out how much pesticide to load per tank, multiply the label rate by the area the spray tank will cover in one filling. If the label specifies 4 quarts per acre and one tankful sprays 5 acres, you need 4 quarts/acre × 5 acres = 20 quarts per tank. This approach lets you scale the amount to the actual area covered; if the tank covers a different number of acres, adjust the multiplication accordingly (for example, 2.5 acres would require 10 quarts, 6.25 acres would require 25 quarts, etc.).
