What is the application rate per square foot if the rate is 3 oz per 1000 square feet?

• A. 0.002 oz/ft2
• B. 0.003 oz/ft2
• C. 0.030 oz/ft2
• D. 0.0003 oz/ft2

Answer: (B)

When a rate is given per 1,000 square feet, you find the per-square-foot rate by dividing by 1,000. So 3 oz spread over 1,000 ft² becomes 3 ÷ 1,000 = 0.003 oz per square foot. This is the correct per-foot rate. If you instead had 0.002 oz/ft², that would correspond to 2 oz per 1,000 ft²; 0.030 oz/ft² would correspond to 30 oz per 1,000 ft²; and 0.0003 oz/ft² would correspond to 3 oz per 10,000 ft².

When a rate is given per 1,000 square feet, you find the per-square-foot rate by dividing by 1,000. So 3 oz spread over 1,000 ft² becomes 3 ÷ 1,000 = 0.003 oz per square foot. This is the correct per-foot rate.
