4 months is 4/12 = 1/3 of a year, so their average age is 8 1/3 years.
With 6 girls, the sum of their ages is 6(8 1/3) = 50 years.
Given only that information, there are many possible answers for their ages. We could have
8,8,8,8,9,9
1,1,1,1,1,45
2,5,9,13,21
etc., etc.....
There is not enough information to solve the question as posted.
