Step-by-step explanation:
Larval mosquitoes breath through trachea in their siphons. This is a structure analogous to the snorkel on a diesel electric submarine. It allows for gas exchange with the atmosphere while the remainder of the insect is submerged. The opening of the siphon is hydrophobic so it won’t get wet and blocked by water. This works well to keep the siphon and the trachea open under normal conditions. Oil when poured on water forms a thin film. When there are mosquitos in that water, when their siphons contact the oil layer, the oil wets and blocks their siphons and suffocates the mosquitoes. This works against most, but not all mossies, as evolution is an amazing process. Some mosquitoes (Mansonia, Coquilletidia) have a siphon designed to penetrate the air vessels in aquatic plants and they don’t need to come to the surface to breath like other mossies. So oil won’t work on these genera.
The answer is 4. You take 2 and divide it by 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean's Theorem 
A and b are both side lengths, c is the hypotenuse.
7^2 + 5^2 = 74
sqrt(74) is the answer for 1.
30^2 - 5^2 = 875
Simplify the radical. sqrt(875) --> 5sqrt(35). The answer for three.
There's a rule in geometry that says a diagonal of a square is the same length as taking a side length times the square root of two. There's your answer for two.
