Question

You are using a termiticide that has a label rate of 4 gal/10 linear foot per foot of depth. You have a footer that is 1 foot deep. The exterior of the house is measured to be 305 feet. How much termiticide do you need to treat the exterior of this house? A. 122 gallons B. 122.5 gallons C. 122.75 gallons D. 123 gallons

Answer 1

To find the amount of termiticide needed, apply the label rate to the exterior of the house. With a 1 foot depth and total of 305 feet, the calculation is (305 feet / 10 feet) * 4 gallons = 122 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of termiticide needed, apply the label rate to the linear measurement of the house exterior. Given the label specifies using 4 gal of termiticide per 10 linear ft/ft of depth, for a house perimeter of 305 feet with a depth of 1 foot, you do the following calculation: (305 feet / 10 feet) * 4 gal = 122 gallons. So, the correct answer is A. 122 gallons.
