There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!
Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0
Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.
0.7 + y + z = 6.0
Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.
0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3
Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.
2.6 + z = 5.3
And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.
2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7
And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>

Answer: Bob has 62 cards.
All has 124 cards.
Jane has 186 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of cards that Bob has.
Al has twice as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that All has is 2x.
Jane has three times as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that Jane has is 3x.
Together, they have 372 cards. It means that
x + 2x + 3x = 372
6x = 372
x = 372/6
x = 62
The number of cards that Al has is
2 × 62 = 124
The number of cards that Jane has is
3 × 62 = 186
