To treat a property measuring 1000 square feet with a label requirement of 0.1 ounces of pesticide per 100 square feet, how many ounces should be applied?

To determine how many ounces of pesticide should be applied to a 1000 square foot property based on the label requirement of 0.1 ounces per 100 square feet, you first need to calculate the total number of 100 square foot units in the 1000 square feet.

1. Divide the total area (1000 square feet) by the area unit specified on the label (100 square feet): [ 1000 , \text{square feet} \div 100 , \text{square feet/unit} = 10 , \text{units} ]

2. Since each 100 square foot unit requires 0.1 ounces of pesticide, you then multiply the number of units by the amount required per unit: [ 10 , \text{units} \times 0.1 , \text{ounces/unit} = 1 , \text{ounce} ]

It appears that the answer derived from this calculation suggests 1 ounce should be used. Therefore, it seems there may have been an oversight in identifying the correct final answer. According to this calculation, the correct quantity of pesticide to apply is indeed 1 ounce, based on the
