Bored at work?

Each letter represents a different letter from 1-9. Every number must be used and only once.

A + B + C =1
DE..FG..HI

a different way to show it.
A/DE+ B/FG + C/HI = 1

What are the three fractions

Good luck!

edit to clarify: DE would be like 23 not 2*3 if D=2 and E= 3

DE
is that D*E or DE

if D was 2 and E was 3

2*3 or 23 ??

I was really hoping all the fractions were simple, but that wasn't the case.

I'm sure there is a more methodical way to get this answer, but I just used some basic logic and brute force.

9/12 + 5/34 + 7/68 = 1

aw, someone beat me to it.

I wrote a program to brute force it.
