If an aircraft treats 14 acres per tank and applies at a volume of 1.5 pints per acre, how many pints should be put in the spray tank?

If an aircraft treats 14 acres per tank and applies at a volume of 1.5 pints per acre, how many pints should be put in the spray tank?

• A. 11.
• B. 15.
• C. 21.
• D. 24.

Answer: (C)

To determine how many pints should be placed in the spray tank, we should first calculate the total number of acres that the aircraft can treat with a full tank, which is given as 14 acres. Since the aircraft applies a treatment volume of 1.5 pints per acre, we need to multiply the number of acres by the application rate. This calculation is as follows: Total volume needed = Acres treated × Volume per acre Total volume needed = 14 acres × 1.5 pints per acre Total volume needed = 21 pints Thus, to treat 14 acres at the application rate of 1.5 pints per acre, the spray tank should contain a total of 21 pints of the product. This matches the correct answer.

Since the aircraft applies a treatment volume of 1.5 pints per acre, we need to multiply the number of acres by the application rate.

This calculation is as follows:

Total volume needed = Acres treated × Volume per acre

Total volume needed = 14 acres × 1.5 pints per acre

Total volume needed = 21 pints

Thus, to treat 14 acres at the application rate of 1.5 pints per acre, the spray tank should contain a total of 21 pints of the product. This matches the correct answer.
