4.5 months a

Step-by-step explanation:

9 babies are five months old

Average age = 5 months

12 babies are seven months old.

Average age = 7 months

Currently the average age of the babies are: 5months + 7months = 12 months

21 babies = 12 months

How many full months from now will the average age of the 21 babies first surpass 20 months old

Surpassing 20 months old means above 20, = 21 months

5months + x + 7 month + x = 21months

Collect like terms

12 months + 2 x = 21 months

2x = 21 months - 12 months

2x = 9 months

2x = 9 months/2

x = 4.5 months
