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
1 - 1/2c = 6
1 -1 - 1/2c = 6 -1 (subtract 1 on both sides)
-1/2c = 5 (next do the inverse operation)
c = 5 ÷ 1/2
c = -10
to check your answer substitute the value of c in the equation;
1- 1/2c = 6
1- 1/2(-10) = 6
1 + 5 = 6
6 =6
