My grandson is about as many days as my son in weeks, and my grandson is as many months as I am in years. My grandson, my son and I together are 120 years. Can you tell me my age in years?

G=age of grandson
S=age of son = 7 G
M=my age = 1 2 G
The sum of the ages is,
G + S + M = 1 2 0
Substituting, we get
G + 7 G + 1 2 G = 1 2 0
G = 6
It follows that
S = 7 G = 7 ( 6 ) = 4 2
and
M = 1 2 G = 1 2 ( 6 ) = 7 2
