if iam six when you are born i am six times older than you.
When she was 1, you were 7 --> 7x as old.
-----------
now i am 66 and you are 60 how many times older than you am i now.
66/60 = 1.1x as old, but it should be 67 and 60 --> 1.117x
-------------
At any age (neglecting the difference in birthdays) it's
(Her age + 7)/(her age)
