It doesn't matter if their year is longer, if they have the same seasons that follow the same pattern than the age calculation that we use would still be correct; Ruby is 15 years old. This means she has seen 15 Winters (if she was 15 before the Red trailer), possibly 16 if the timeskip takes place at the end of Winter or after her birthday.

Even though the year may be different in length, and the months may be different to ours (fun fact, the word month is drived from an old word for moon and a month was measured by the phases of the moon. We actually had 13 months in a year, as the moon went throguh 13 cycles between the start of one year to the next. Then craziness happened and...we now have 12 months of varying lengths, including 1 that gains a day every 4 years...) we can still use the seasons to estimate character ages.
