Answer:
<em>In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The age of two children is 11 and 8 years.
Let's call x the number of years ahead.
We need to find when the product of their future ages is 208. The 11 years old child will be 11+x years old and the other child will be 8+x years, thus:
(11+x)(8+x)=208
Operating:

Simplifying:

Factoring:
(x-5)(x+24)=0
Solving:
x=5, x=-24
The negative solution is not valid, thus x=5
In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208
