Answer 1

Linda gets three-tenths (3/10) of the total amount of money when sharing with Adam and Rytis, with Linda receiving three times Rytis' share and half of Adam's share.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out what fraction of the total amount of money Linda gets.

According to the problem, Adam receives twice as much as Linda, and Linda receives three times as much as Rytis. We can use variables to represent their shares.

Let's let R represent the amount that Rytis gets. Since Linda gets three times what Rytis gets, Linda's share will be 3R.

Adam gets twice the amount of Linda, so Adam's share will be 2 × 3R which simplifies to 6R.

Now, we can add up all their shares to find out the total amount of money: R + 3R + 6R.

This simplifies to 10R. To find the fraction of the total amount that Linda gets, we divide Linda's share by the total:

3R ÷ 10R.

The Rs cancel out, and we are left with 3/10, which means Linda gets three-tenths of the total amount of money.
