Can anyone help converting this information into gear ratios please?

I have found a cheap way of getting a decent gear box into the car.

Its a used borg warner T5 Straight Cut Dog (gleb) gearbox /

I contacted the seller for the ratios and have been given this info.

Sorry don't know but this may help long 1st 50mph 2nd 70mph 5th 127mph diff 4.6 tyres 305x45x15in at 7200rpm thanks

All the best Clive

Using a wheel circumference of 81.1 inches I calculate the following.

1st : 2.404
2nd : 1.717
5th : 0.947

Hopefully someone else can check to make sure my maths stands up.  I put the numbers through a spreadsheet I had for calculating gear ratios based on speed/ revs.

Found a calculator at   https://www.blocklayer.com/rpm-gear.aspx  using 25.81 inches for tyre diameter that gives same numbers as calculated above.
