My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.

Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).

Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48

Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x

Step 5: Write it as a sentence 
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters. 

Hope that helped! Good luck! :]

Answer: x= 2.5, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>I'm going to assume that these photocopies are proportional in relations to each other.</em></u>

If they're proportional, you can set up two proportions:

1) \frac{x}{5} =\frac{3}{6} \\\\2) \frac{5}{y} =\frac{3}{6}

And cross-multiply:

1) 6x = 5*3 \\\\2) 3y = 5*6

Then solved for x and y:

1) 6x = 15\\x=\frac{15}{6} =\frac{5}{2} =2.5 \\\\2) 3y = 30\\y=\frac{30}{3} =10
