Bear in mind that many of the biblical heroines, Rebekah, Rachel, Lea, Ruth, Esther, were just little girls (if I correctly remembers Rashi says Rebekah was 3 years old when she married Isaac, then she was "childless").
With all due respect to a great Rabbi, I think Rashi's math here is about as off as Jim Stinehart's math.
