Problem

Rectangle $ABCD$ has $AB=5$ and $BC=4$ . Point $E$ lies on $\overline{AB}$ so that $EB=1$ , point $G$ lies on $\overline{BC}$ so that $CG=1$ . and point $F$ lies on $\overline{CD}$ so that $DF=2$ . Segments $\overline{AG}$ and $\overline{AC}$ intersect $\overline{EF}$ at $Q$ and $P$ , respectively. What is the value of $\frac{PQ}{EF}$ ?
