If you have a recommendation of 2 ounces of a chemical for 1,000 square feet, how much will you need for 4,590 square feet?

To determine how much of the chemical you need for 4,590 square feet based on a recommendation of 2 ounces for 1,000 square feet, you first need to calculate the amount needed per square foot. Since 2 ounces is recommended for 1,000 square feet, this means that the application rate is 0.002 ounces per square foot.

Next, to find the total amount needed for 4,590 square feet, you multiply the application rate by the area in square feet:

0.002 ounces/square foot × 4,590 square feet = 9.18 ounces.

This calculation shows that you would need 9.18 ounces of the chemical to cover 4,590 square feet effectively. This aligns with the answer provided, demonstrating that the calculation correctly applies the initial rate of application to a larger area while maintaining consistency in pest control measures.
