A proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. It is a statement that two ratios are equal. 3/4 = 6/8 is an example of a proportion. When one of the four numbers in a proportion is unknown, cross products may be used to find the unknown number.
In this case the ratio (w1-w3)/(w1-w2) equals the square root of 2, which is irrational. Thus the three hands will never come into perfect alignment, except in the special case when all three speeds are rational multiples of each other (as in the case of a real clock mechanism).
