How would you work out the Hubble constant if the earth is 12.5 billion years old?

The Earth is not 12 billion years old. It is more like 5 billion years old. Hubble's constant cannot be determined from the age of the Earth. Hubble's constant describes how fast the universe is expanding. It can be determined by looking at the redshifts of stars that are a known distance away. From the redshift, one can determine the velocity of the star. Then Hubble's constant is defined as follows: v=Hd where v is the velocity of the star, H is Hubble's constant and d is the distance to the star. The current accepted value of Hubble's constant is about 71 km/s/Mpc.


Did Edwin Hubble have anything to do with the Hubble Space Telescope?

No, Edwin Hubble had nothing directly to do with the Hubble Telescope, it was named for him because he profoundly changed the understanding of the nature of the universe. Hubble died before the the physical exploration of space began. Hubble also created his own Hubble telescope back in 1929 but it is not the orbiting Hubble telescope.
