Let Xavier's favourite fraction be a/b, Yessie's favourite fraction = b/a and Zorro's favourite fraction = c/d,

c/d x a/b = 12/35 . . . . . . . . (1)
c/d x b/a = 15/7 . . . . . . . . (2)

(1) x (2) = c/d x a/b x c/d x b/a = 12/35 x 15/7
 c^2 / d^2 = 36/49
c^2 = 36
c = 6
d^2 = 49
d = 7

Xaviers favourite fraction = 12/35 / 6/7 = 2/5
Yessies favourite fraction = 5/2
Zorro favourite fraction = 6/7

The points (a,5) and (9,b) are on the circle x^2+ y^2= 125.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

a = 10

b = 6.633

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+ y²= 125.

In this equation, the value of x and y represent the coordinates of x and y respectively of point on which the circle passes.

<u>(a,5)</u>

x²+ y²= 125

a² + 5² = 125

a² + 25 = 125

a² = 125-25

a² =  100

a = √100 = 10

(9,b)

x²+ y²= 125

9² + b² = 125

b² 125 - 81

b² = 44

b = √44 = 6.633
