If 95 acres are treated at 2.0 pints per acre, how many gallons of product are required in total?

• A. 23.75 gallons
• B. 15.2 gallons
• C. 47.5 gallons
• D. 36.0 gallons

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to apply the rate per acre to the area to get the total amount in pints, then convert that amount to gallons.

First multiply the area by the rate: 95 acres × 2.0 pints per acre = 190 pints total. Then convert pints to gallons. Since 1 gallon equals 8 pints, divide by 8: 190 ÷ 8 = 23.75 gallons.

A quick check: 2 pints per acre is 0.25 gallon per acre, so 95 acres × 0.25 gallon/acre = 23.75 gallons. If the unit conversion is done incorrectly (for example, treating 1 gallon as 4 pints), you’d get a different, incorrect number.
