Question 801 Deck Safety
70% to passOne gallon of low expansion foam solution will produce about _______________.
The correct answer is A) 10 gallons of foam. The reason this is the correct answer is that low expansion foam, when applied, expands by a ratio of approximately 10:1. This means that 1 gallon of low expansion foam solution will produce around 10 gallons of expanded foam. This is a commonly known property of low expansion foam and is based on the chemical composition and application method of this type of firefighting foam. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the typical expansion ratio of low expansion foam. Options B, C, and D represent unrealistically high expansion ratios that do not align with the standard performance characteristics of low expansion foam.
