Hello There!
As for this problem, we would have to set up an equation in order to determine the missing age. We would do this because we want to find the missing age and by setting up an equation it will help find the age easier, as opposed to manually calculating it. With that said, let's begin to solve.
First, we would create an equation based on what the question says, which would look as:
x + x + 2 = 12
2x + 2 = 12
Subtract two from both sides.
2x = 10
The grand daughter is 5 years old and since the grandson is two years older he is 7.
Thus,
The age of the granddaughter is 5
The age of the grandson is 7
Maybe 5 multiplying or adding the value of d subtracting 10 equals
It is often easiest to use "military time". That is, add 12 to all the afternoon numbers and do the subtraction in the usual way. Of course, 1 hour = 60 minutes, so 10 minutes = 10/60 hour = 1/6 hour.
Mon: 15:10 -8:00 = 7:10 = 7 1/6
Tue: 15:25 -8:05 = 7:20 = 7 1/3
Wed: 14:30 -8:00 = 6:30 = 6 1/2
Thur: 14:45 -7:55 = 7:(-10) = 6:50 = 6 5/6
Fri: 15:38 -7:58 = 8:(-20) = 7:40 = 7 2/3

Some calculators have nice features for working with degrees, minutes, and seconds. In this context, degrees and hours are the same thing. That is, the base-60 arithmetic is the same whether you consider the numbers to be hours or degrees. Similarly, some calculators convert nicely between decimal fractions and mixed numbers. In short, a suitable calculator will almost do this math for you. (You just need to add 12 to all the numbers in the column on the right.)
