Alex is as many months old as his grandpa is in years and about as many days old as his dad is in weeks. If the sum of their 3 ages is 140 years, how old is each?
A [][][][][][][][][][][][] months --> [] years
G [][][][][][][][][][][][] years
A [12 x 4 x 7] days x 4 to convert to weeks, x 7 to convert to days
D [12 x 4 x 7] weeks --> [][][][][][][] years ÷ 4 to convert to months, ÷ 12 to convert to years
20 u --> 140 years
1 u --> 140 ÷ 20 = 7 years
12 u --> 12 x 7 = 84 years
7 u --> 7 x 7 = 49 years
Alex, his dad and grandpa are 7 years, 49 years and 84 years old respectively.
