Indiana Category 1 Applicator License Practice Test 2026 – Complete Exam Prep

To determine how many acres can be treated with a full 1,000-gallon tank at a rate of 12 gallons per acre, the correct calculation is to divide the total volume of the tank by the application rate.

Using the formula:

Total gallons available / Application rate per acre = Acres that can be treated

In this case:

1,000 gallons (total in the tank) / 12 gallons (application rate per acre) = approximately 83.33 acres.

This calculation shows that you can effectively treat over 83 acres with a full tank when using 12 gallons of solution per acre. It’s a straightforward mathematical operation where dividing the total volume of liquid by the specific application rate gives you the area that can be treated.

This is why the answer indicating 83.33 acres is the correct one. The other options do not align with this mathematical operation or reflect the treatment potential given the specified application rate.
