Answer:
(in a fraction format) 12/75=x/120
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest way I can explain* is for these types of problems, all you do is make an equation like the one above and use an X as the numerator in the second equation over the denominator, which should be something like 120 in this problem. So after you find the information for the problem, which is the part where it states how much time a line of 48 people had to wait, make an equation using that information, which is 12/48. Then to finish the equation, use the 120 people in line part and make another equation that has an X as the numerator, or the number on top. It should look like this:
12/75 = x/120

1280 Is the correct anwser
Answer is number one. The number inside the bracket is the time and the number after the equal sign is the height. As you can see, at t=5, height=75.
Our final answer must represent "number of mosquitos." This verifies that the correct calculation would be
1000 mosquitos 10.5 hours
----------------------- x --------------------
1 hour 1
Multiply this out. Note that "hours" will cancel.
Whats your result?
Supposing that your result looked like xxxxx times 10^0,
you'd convert this into scientific notation by moving the decimal place four units to the left (obtaining x.xxx) and then increasing the exponent of 10 from zero to four (obtaining 10^4).
Then your answer would have the form x.xxx times 10^4 (mosquitos)
