You can put this solution on YOUR website!
J=2A Joe has twice as much as Ada
.
.
A=%281%2F2%29O Ada has half as much as Oli
So,
O=2A Oli also has twice as much as Ada.
All together,
J%2BA%2BO=5.25
You can substitute,
2A%2BA%2B2A=5.25
5A=5.25
A=5.25%2F5
Now solve for A.
Then go back and find J and O.
