If a sprayer is calibrated to apply 30 gallons per acre, and you plan to treat 5 acres, the total spray volume will be 150 gallons.

If a sprayer is calibrated to apply 30 gallons per acre, and you plan to treat 5 acres, the total spray volume will be 150 gallons.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on rate
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer: (A)

Total spray volume is found by multiplying the application rate by the area to treat. If the sprayer delivers 30 gallons per acre and you plan to treat 5 acres, you need 30 × 5 = 150 gallons. So the statement is true because the total volume scales directly with the treated area when the rate per acre is fixed. Since both the rate and the area are given, the total volume is determined; it wouldn’t depend on anything else.
