If applying 10 gallons of herbicide per acre on a 20-acre field, how many gallons of herbicide are needed?

• A. 100 gallons
• B. 150 gallons
• C. 200 gallons
• D. 250 gallons

Answer: (A)

To determine the total amount of herbicide needed for a 20-acre field when applying 10 gallons per acre, you multiply the rate of application by the total acreage. The calculation is straightforward: 10 gallons/acre × 20 acres = 200 gallons. Thus, for this application scenario, you would need a total of 200 gallons of herbicide to cover the entire field. Given this context, the correct response indicates that applying 10 gallons per acre results in a total of 200 gallons for 20 acres. The answer provided does not reflect this calculation accurately and is therefore not the appropriate choice.
