- Initially, the total age of the 5 children is 10 years each, which sums up to 50 years in total.

- Two additional children join, one aged 11 years and the other 16 years.

- The combined age of these two new children is 27 years (11 + 16).

- Now, the total age of all 7 children is 77 years (50 + 27).

- To find the new average age, divide the total age by the number of children: 77 years / 7 children = 11 years.
