If a 200-gallon tank is used to apply at 25 gal/acre, how many acres can be treated?

Explanation:
Think about how much area your spray covers per acre and how much total spray you have. If you apply 25 gallons for each acre and you have 200 gallons in the tank, the acres you can treat = total gallons ÷ gallons per acre = 200 ÷ 25 = 8. Since 25 gallons × 8 acres = 200 gallons, you can treat 8 acres. If you tried to treat more, you’d run out of spray (9 acres would need 225 gallons, 10 acres would need 250 gallons, etc.).
