Can someone please help?
Xavier, Yessie, and Zorro each choose a different favorite positive fraction. Each fraction is in simplest form. Yessie's fraction is the reciprocal of Xavier's. Zorro multiplies his favorite fraction by Xavier's and finds a product of 12/35. Zorro then multiplies his favorite fraction by Yessie's fraction and finds a product of 15/7.
What is each person's favorite fraction?
Thanks in advance!
