In treating an industrial site of 10,000 square feet, how much pesticide formulation should be applied if the label specifies 2 ounces of pesticide per 1000 square feet?

To determine the correct amount of pesticide formulation to apply in a 10,000 square foot industrial site, you start by referring to the label's application rate, which specifies 2 ounces of pesticide per 1,000 square feet.

Calculating the total application for 10,000 square feet involves scaling up the specified rate. For every 1,000 square feet, 2 ounces of pesticide are required. Thus, to find the total for 10,000 square feet, you multiply 2 ounces by the number of 1,000 square foot units in 10,000 square feet, which is 10 (since 10,000 divided by 1,000 equals 10).

So, the calculation is: 2 ounces x 10 = 20 ounces of pesticide formulation needed for the entire area.

Therefore, for the correct answer, when looking at the provided options, it correctly includes both the appropriate amount of active ingredient and potential gallon measurements. In particular, 10 ounces of active ingredient and 20 gallons of water is consistent with typical dilution practices in pesticide applications.

This ensures that the application adheres to safety and effectiveness standards indicated on pesticide labels.
