The age of a lioness in a park is twice the age of a hyena in the same park. The lioness is 12 years old. If the babies of the two animals are half the age of their mothers, calculate the sum of the age of the babies in five years.
How old is the hyena? ** If the lioness is 12 years old, the hyena, half her age, is 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 years old.
How old is the baby of the lioness? ** The baby of the lioness is 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 years old, half the mother's age.
How old will the lioness's cub be in five years? ** Five years from now, the age of the lioness's cub will be 6+5 = <<6+5=11>>11
How old is the baby of the hyena? ** The baby of the hyena is 6/2 = <<6/2=3>>3 years old, which is half the mother's age.
How old will the hyena's baby be in five years? ** The hyena's baby will be 3+5 = 8 years old in five years.
How old will the babies be in five years? ** Together, the total age of the babies will be 8+11 = <<8+11=19>>19 years in five years.
