Consider the question. 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.
 What is the step-by-step reasoning process to arrive at the answer: 19?
If the lioness is 12 years old, the hyena, half her age, is 12 / 2 = 6 years old. The baby of the lioness is 12 / 2 = 6 years old, half the mother's age. Five years from now, the age of the lioness's cub will be 6 + 5 = 11. The baby of the hyena is 6 / 2 = 3 years old, which is half the mother's age. The hyena's baby will be 3 + 5 = 8 years old in five years. Together, the total age of the babies will be 8 + 11 = 19 years in five years.
