To solve these problems, let's follow the details of the increases month by month and examine how long it takes to reach the target production value.

1. Calculating Production in May
- January: Given as 88,280 tons.
- February: Increasing by 1.7%, it becomes approximately 89,781 tons.
- March: Again increasing by 1.7% from February, it becomes approximately 91,307 tons.
- April: Increasing by 1.7% from March, it produces approximately 92,859 tons.
- May: Increasing by 1.7% from April, it produces approximately 94,438 tons.

2. Finding the Month to Reach 104,489 Tons
- We start from January with 88,280 tons and increase by 1.7% each month.
- After January: 88,280 tons.
- After February: approximately 89,781 tons.
- After March: approximately 91,307 tons.
- After April: approximately 92,859 tons.
- After May: approximately 94,438 tons.
- Continuing this process month by month, we will reach 104,489 tons in approximately November (11th month from January).

Thus, after understanding the calculations for each month:

The approximate quantity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced in May is 94,438 tons, and approximately 104,489 tons will be produced in November.
