Answer:

Abebe will be exact twice as old as Aster in 8 years.

Explanation:

Since Abebe is 12 years old, and his sister Aster is 2 years old, there is a difference of 10 years between them (12 - 2). Therefore, the difference between the two implies that Abebe is exactly twice as old as her sister when she is 10 years old, and she is 20 years old (10 x 2 = 20).

Therefore, since 20-12 equals 8, Abebe will be twice as old as her sister Aster hers in 8 years.
