Problem number 10. The ages of a family of kangaroos are 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10. The sum of the ages of four of them is 22 years. What are the ages of the other two kangaroos? 2 and 8, 4 and 5, 5 and 8, 6 and 8, or 6 and 10? The sum of the ages of four of the kangaroos. So we need to find the ages of the other two kangaroos. So we are going to add all the ages together and subtract 22 from it. That will help us find the ages of the two other kangaroos. So we have 2 plus 4 plus 5 plus 6 plus 8 plus 10. So 8 and 2 make 10. 4 and 6 make 10. And 10 and 5 make 15. Which means this is 35. 35 minus 22 is 13. So 13 is the total of the ages of the other two kangaroos. And the only two that can make 13 is 5 and 8. Which means our answer must be C, 5 and 8.
