Which of the following best identifies the spray volume rate (in gallons per acre) being delivered by a hand gun that discharges 3.5 gallons of spray per minute as it treats a swath 15 feet wide? The handgun is being operated from a truck traveling along the canal bank at a speed of 135 feet per minute.
===================================
It's spraying 3.5 gallons over an area of 15*135 sq ft
= 3.5gal/2025 sq ft
1 acre = 43560 sq ft
----
3.5/2025 = Vol/43560
2025*Vol = 152460
Gal/acre =~ 75.289
