Planning & EstimatingQuestion 76 of 100
A fertilizer is applied at 4 pounds per 1,000 square feet. How much is needed for 5,000 square feet?
a.4 pounds
b.20 pounds
c.40 pounds
d.2 pounds
Explanation
Divide the total area by 1,000 to get 5 units, then multiply by the 4-pound rate to get 20 pounds. Application rates per 1,000 square feet are standard in turf care. Measuring area accurately prevents over-application and fertilizer burn.
