How many total ounces of fungicide would you need for a .25 acre lawn given the rate of 2 ounces per 1,000 square feet?

To determine the total ounces of fungicide needed for a 0.25-acre lawn at a rate of 2 ounces per 1,000 square feet, you first need to convert acres to square feet. One acre is equal to 43,560 square feet. Therefore, a 0.25-acre lawn is:

0.25 acres x 43,560 square feet/acre = 10,890 square feet.

Next, you calculate how many 1,000-square-foot units are in 10,890 square feet:

10,890 square feet ÷ 1,000 square feet/unit = 10.89 units.

Then, apply the fungicide rate of 2 ounces per 1,000 square feet:

10.89 units x 2 ounces/unit = 21.78 ounces.

When rounded, this means you would need approximately 21.8 ounces of fungicide for the entire area. This calculation confirms that the correct amount of fungicide needed aligns with the chosen answer.
