Answer: Jane is 10 9/30 years old

Explanation:

Given that Jeremy is 12 4 /5 years old

Carl is 1 1/6 years younger than Jeremy which is why we would subtract giving us

=12 4/5 - 1 1/6

= 11 (24- 5)/30

= 11 19/30 years

and Jane is 1 1 3 years younger than Carl which is why we would subtract giving us

=11 19/30 - 1 1/3

= 10 ( 19 - 10)/ 30

=10 9/30 years
