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.

Answer:
The total length of fencing needed to enclose the kennel 74 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The blueprint of the rectangular kennel shows one side is 23 feet and another side is 14 feet.
As it is a rectangular shape, let the two sides be the length and the breadth of the rectangular kennel. i.e
To find:
Total length of fencing needed is to enclose the kennel. i.e
Perimeter of a rectangular kennel = ?
Solution:
we have the formula for perimeter of a rectangle as giving below.
Therefore,the total length of fencing needed to enclose the kennel 74 feet.
Answer:
b=20.431
Step-by-step explanation:
you just add 6.11 to both sides. on the left side the -6.11 and +6.11 cancel out and on the right side you will just add 6.11 to 14.321. when you add 14.321 and 6.11 you get 20.431. therefore, b=20.431
Answer:
12%
Step-by-step explanation:
75-75*0.2=60
60+60*0.1=66
66/75=0.88=88%
