Father
Grandson
The Total Age of all the 3 added together is 140 Years.
let gs = grandson's age
If grandson is x months old then grandpa is x years old.
this means grandpa = 12gs
If grandson is y days old then father is y weeks old.
365/52; this means father = 7gs
so your have
gs + 7gs + 12gs = 140
20gs = 140
gs = 140/20
gs = 7 yrs old
then
7(7) = 49 is father's age
and
12(7) = grandfathers age
