    Lets name the largest number as x

    smallest number is half the largest, therefore its x/2 = 0.5x

    then middle number is 3/4 the largest, therefore its 3/4x = 0.75x

    the sum of the three numbers are 162

    the three numbers added are

    x + 0.5x + 0.75x = 162

    2.25 x = 162

    x = 72

    the largest number is 72

    then middle number 0.75 x = 0.75 x 72 = 54

    smallest number is 0.5x = 0.5 x 72 = 36

    answer is - 36,54,72
