To solve this problem, we will use the Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT), also known as Thales's Theorem, and properties of similar triangles.

Step 1: Determine the ratio AB:BCAB : BC.
We are given BC=38ACBC = \frac{3}{8} AC.
Since A,B,CA, B, C are collinear, AC=AB+BCAC = AB + BC.
Substitute BC=38ACBC = \frac{3}{8} AC into the equation:
AC=AB+38ACAC = AB + \frac{3}{8} AC
AC−38AC=ABAC - \frac{3}{8} AC = AB
58AC=AB\frac{5}{8} AC = AB
So, ABAC=58\frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{5}{8}.
From this, $
