If applying 2 oz per 1,000 sq ft on a 5,000 sq ft area, how many ounces are needed?

To determine how many ounces are needed when applying 2 ounces per 1,000 square feet to a 5,000 square foot area, one must first understand the application rate and the total area involved in the calculation.

The application rate is specified as 2 ounces for every 1,000 square feet. Therefore, the first step is to find out how many 1,000 square foot sections are in 5,000 square feet. This is done by dividing the total area by the area covered per application:

5,000 sq ft ÷ 1,000 sq ft = 5 sections.

Since each of these sections requires 2 ounces, you would multiply the number of sections by the amount needed for each section:

5 sections × 2 ounces/section = 10 ounces.

Thus, 10 ounces of the material are necessary to cover the entire 5,000 square foot area at the specified rate. This calculation directly correlates with the correct answer in the options provided.
