Answer:
4:12=5:15
in propotion form
4/12=5/15
Step-by-step explanation:
We convert 5 3/8 to a mixed number and will be equal to 43/8 and 6/1 we multiply it by 48 to be 288/48 and 43/8 multiply numerator and denominator by 6 to get 258/48 and then we subtract we will get 5/8 which is 0.628 and that would be the answer.
First, some defintions
reciprocals are like a/b and b/a or 5/1 and 1/5
remember,

john's fraction is reciprocal of sarah's
john=a/b
sarah=b/a
david multiplies his by sarah and gets 12/35
(b/a)(david)=12/35
multplies his number by john and gets 12/35
(a/b)(david)=15/7
hmmm
(b/a)(david)=12/35 and
(a/b)(david)=15/7
if we divide them then we do





square root both sides

therefor
b=2 and a=5
john's number is a/b=5/2
sarah's number is 2/5
david, hmm
sarah times david=12/35
2/5 times david=12/35
times both sides by 5/2
david=60/70
david=6/7
check other
john times david=15/7
5/2 times 6/7=15/7
30/14=15/7
15/7=15/7
true
sarah's favorite number is 2/5
john's favorite number is 5/2
david's favorite number is 6/7
