Answer:

14.8 years

Explanation:

Average age = total age / number of boys

Average age of ten boys = total age for 10 boys/ 10

Average age of 9 boys (15) = total age for 9 boys/ 9

total age for 9 boys = 9 * 15 = 135

total age for 10 boys = total age for 9 boys + 13 = 135+13 = 148

Average age of ten boys = 148/ 10 = 14.8 years
