Since the given rate is 22 gallons of pest for 8 acres of crops, then
We need to find how many acres per gallon
Then we will divide 22 acres by 8 gallons to find the rate
[tex]rate=\frac{22}{8}[/tex]Divide up and down by 2 to simplify
[tex]\begin{gathered} rate=\frac{\frac{22}{2}}{\frac{8}{2}} \\ \\ rate=\frac{11}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer is:
The rate is 11/4 gallon per acre (2 3/4)
