13       A supervisor counts the number of knapsacks sprayed by each operator per                         day and records the            following information:

                        Operator Knapsacks sprayed per day
                        No 1       9

14           A contractor wants to do a costing on a cut-stump treatment for planning                                 purposes. He wants to               know   how much herbicide mix he will use                         on average per stump. He cuts and treats 50 gum                    stumps and                              finds out that he used four litres. 

              What is the average amount of mix per stump?  …………..ml/stump 

15        The herbicide imazapyr used for the gum cut-stump treatment costs $40/litre and is used as a 5%  mix with water. Using the information from question 14, how much imazapyr would be used per 1’000 trees and what would it cost ?
