Answer 1

Lilly is 12 years old.

Explanation:

You can take 24 then divide that by 2 to figure out Lilly’s age, 24 ÷ 2 = 12 oh and a little bonus! Louis is 10 years old. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Lily is 6.

Explanation:

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.

The expressions that makeup these factors are: 1 x 24, 2 x 12, 3 x 8, 4 x 6.

Their ages must be the two numbers in one of these expressions, the one with a value two more than the other would be 4 x 6 and since Lily is the older she is 6.
