Fred is twice as old as Bob -> F=2B->B=F%2F2
Kim is 2 years older than Bob-> K=B%2B2
Jane is 5/4 as old as Kim -> J=%285%2F4%29K
Tim is one fourth as old as Jane ->T=J%2F4
Vanessa is four years older than Tim->V=T%2B4
Miguel is 3 years younger than Vanessa-> M=V-3
Phillip is 3 times as old as Miguel ->P=3M
Phillip's wife (W%5Bp%5D ) is 3 years younger than he is-> W%5Bp%5D=P-3
Phillip's son's age (P%5Bs%5D) is one fifth of Phillip's wife.->P%5Bs%5D=W%5Bp%5D%2F5
His daughter (P%5Bd%5D) is one third the age of his son.->P%5Bd%5D=P%5Bs%5D%2F3
Fred is 60.->F=60
so, if F=60 than B=F%2F2->B=30
if Kim K=B%2B2-> K=30%2B2->K=32
if Jane is J=%285%2F4%29K-> J=%285%2Fcross%284%29%29cross%2832%298-> J=5%2A8-> J=40
if Tim is T=J%2F4 ->T=40%2F4 ->T=10
if Vanessa isV=T%2B4->V=10%2B4->V=14
if Miguel is M=V-3-> M=14-3 -> M=11
if Phillip is P=3M ->P=3%2A11->P=33
if Phillip's wife is W%5Bp%5D=P-3-> W%5Bp%5D=33-3-> W%5Bp%5D=30
if Phillip's son's is P%5Bs%5D=W%5Bp%5D%2F5->P%5Bs%5D=30%2F5->P%5Bs%5D=6
if his daughter is P%5Bd%5D=P%5Bs%5D%2F3->P%5Bd%5D=6%2F3->P%5Bd%5D=2

so, we know that:
Fred is 60
Bob is 30
Kim is 32
Jane is 40
Tim is 10
Vanessa is 14
Miguel is 11
Phillip is 33
Phillip's wife is 30
Phillip's son is 6
and his daughter is 2
