7-to-24 month-old children?
Please look at this sentence.
"This is a problem because many of the complementary foods that mother feed their 7-to-24 month-old children do not meet nutritional requirements"
Why the writer put "-" between the numbers? Is it correct? I think it is okay to write as "their 7 to 24 month-old"
Thank you for your answer

I'd write '...their 7- to 24-month-old children.'
It's a neater way of writing '...their 7-month-old to 24-month-old children.'
