I got a=0, b=0 and c=0 from my workings, but 3, 4 and 5 or 6, 4 and 8vare also correct but I can't seem to work that out

yeah...i need further explanation. I understand the following deductions:
a/c=3/5, c/b=5/4, a/b=3/4.

But how did the above translate to
a=3, b=4, c=5
because it seems like u jus guessed what should have been there...olusolaj also apparently got it 'right' cos it fitted perfectly to the question. His answer was a=1, b=4/3, C=5/3.

I can also say a=3/2, b=2, c=5/2 AND THE ANSWER WILL BE JUSTIFIABLE....it still doesn't make it right.

Pls clear workings will justify ur answer not assumptions
does answer u?

My final solution, note that the second solution might not be completely correct in all aspect because 0/0 =infinity
