Answer: x= 2.5, y = 10

Explanation:

I'm going to assume that these photocopies are proportional in relations to each other.

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


1) (x)/(5) =(3)/(6) \\\\2) (5)/(y) =(3)/(6)

And cross-multiply:


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

Then solved for x and y:


1) 6x = 15\\x=(15)/(6) =(5)/(2) =2.5 \\\\2) 3y = 30\\y=(30)/(3) =10
