Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)

1. x/8=5/16

You first start by multiplying x and 16

Then multiply 5 and 8

So now you have 16x=40

Finally divide 16 from each side

You get: x+0.4!

2. 5/12=15/x

Remember to cross-multiply!

Now we have 5x=180

Next divide 5 from each side

You get: x=36!

Answer:

  about 520,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Following directions, we evaluate the equation by putting the value where the variable is and doing the arithmetic.

__

The value of x will be the number of days between May 26 and May 12. That value is ...

  x = 26 -12 = 14

Then the number of mosquitos is estimated to be ...

  y = 230,000(1.06^14) ≈  520,008

About 520,000 mosquitos will inhabit the city on May 26.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Typically, an "estimate" is one or two significant figures. So, 520,000 is a reasonable estimate. 520,008 has more precsision than can be justified.
