Frost · Answer 1

1,171 fluid ounces of herbicide is sufficient for 2050 square meter.

Explanation:

If 300 square feet of land is sprayed by the herbicide at the rate of 16 liquid ounce, So 1,171 fluid ounces of herbicide is enough to cover the area of 2050 square meters.

Calculation:

First convert 300 square feet into meter which is equal to 28 square meter.

16 ounces of herbicide = 28 square meter

x ounces of herbicide = 1050 square meter

by cross multiplication we get

28 x = 16 x 1050

x = 32800 / 28

x = 1171 ounces of herbicide.
