Answer:

8 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Set Amy's age as x.

Kevin's age will be 2x, since he is two times as old as Amy.

Father's age will be 5x, since he is five times as old as Amy.

x + 2x + 5x = Sum of the ages = 64

x + 2x + 5x = 64

Combine like terms: 8x = 64.

Divide 8 on both sides: x = 8.

Amy's age = 8.

Hope this helps!
