…he painted the last of them at the age of 90

 

The translation that is suggested seems a word-for-word translation:

…pintó el último de ellos a la edad de 90 

Shouldn't the following be one of the accepted alternate options?

…pintó el último de ellos a los 90

Hola Raph C.

Thanks for pointing this out.

We agree that "...pintó el último de ellos a los 90" is a perfectly natural way to express the same idea in Spanish.

We've now added your version as a valid alternative answer.

Thanks for helping us improve the exercise!

Saludos

Silvia
