You can put this solution on YOUR website!

let Adam’s age be x, Bella’s age y,Chris’ age z
if Chris’ age is 1%2F3 of 36, then z=%281%2F3%2936=12
if Adam’s age is 1%2F2, Bella’s age, then x=y%2F2
if Bella’s age is 2%2F3+of Chris’ age, then y=%282%2F3%2912=2%2A4=8
then Adam’s age is x=y%2F2=8%2F2=4
Adam is 4 years old
Bella is 8 years old
Chris is 12 years old

Looking at the end of the description, Chris is 12 years of age.

Bella is then 8 years old.

Adam must be 4 years old.
