so we start by finding out what 1 gamma and 1 beta equals.
we know 4 gammas = 5 betas so if we divide by four on both sides we get:
1 gamma = 5/4 betas. we can apply that same procedure to 2 betas = 3 alphas and get 1 beta = 3/2 alphas
we know that 1 gamma = 5/4 betas and 1 beta = 3/2 alphas so how many alphas = 5/4 betas? using a proportion of ((3/2)/1) = ((x)/(5/4)) we can find that 5/4 betas = 15/8 alphas
therefore we know 1 gamma = 15/8 alphas or 1 and 7/8 alphas
