Maeve Novak · Answer 1

The girl is 13 the father is 52

Baron Saunders · Answer 2

The daughter is currently 13 while the father is 52. As I did the math, 1/4 of 52 is 13. 13+7, which will mean in seven years, is 20. 52-12, which will mean 12 years ago, is 40. 40 divided by 2 is 20, getting this answer.
