Answer:

Mauricio needs 10.5 liters of oil for frying.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mauricio wants to fry 18 potatoes per hour for 3.5 hours. He can fry 6 potatoes using 1 liter of oil.

To find : How many liters of oil does Mauricio need for frying potatoes?

Solution :

Applying unitary method,

Mauricio can fry 6 potatoes using 1 liter of oil.

Mauricio can fry 1 potatoes using $\frac{1}{6}$ liter of oil.

Mauricio can fry 18 potatoes using $\frac{18}{6}=3$ liter of oil

Now, Mauricio fries 18 potatoes using 3 liters of oil per hour.

The total amount of oil needed by him = $3.5 \times 3 = 10.5$ liters.

Therefore, Mauricio needs 10.5 liters of oil for frying.

Given: LMNP is a square A, B midpoints of LM and PN Q ∈ AB m∠LPQ = 45° Find: m∠PQN

lisov135 [29]

Since A and B are the midpoints of ML and NP, we can say that AB is parallel to MN and LP. In order to find ∠PQN, we can work with the triangles PQB and NQB. According to SAS (Side-Angle-Side) principle, these triangles are congruent. BQ is a common side for these triangles and NB=BP and the angle between those sides is 90°, i.e, ∠NBQ=∠PBQ=90°. After finding that these triangles are equal, we can say that ∠BNQ is 45°. From here, we easily find <span>∠PQN. It is 180 - (</span>∠QNP + ∠NPQ) = 180 - 90 = 90°
