Through a point in the interior of a triangle ABC, three lines are drawn, one parallel to each side. These lines divide the sides of the triangle into three regions each. Let a,b, and c be the lengths of the sides opposite ∠A,∠B, and ∠C, respectively, and let a′,b′, and c′ be the lengths of the middle regions of the sides opposite ∠A,∠B, and ∠C, respectively. Find the numerical value of a′/a+b′/b+c′/c.
