Answer:
Xavier's favorite fraction is 2/5
Yessie's favorite fraction is 5/2
Zorro's favorite fraction is 6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
We first introduce variables for each person's favorite positive fraction.
We will put
Xavier as X,
Yessie as Y,
Zorro as Z.
When Zorro multiplies Z by X, he finds the product of 12/35.
When Zorro multiplies Z by Y, he finds the product of 15/7.
When Xavier multiples X by Y, he finds the product of 1.
So, Z(X)=12/35, Z(Y)=15/7, and X(Y)=1.
