Hi! It's me. I'll try to help. Bilbo was born in 2890. He came back from the quest in 2942. That makes him 52. Frodo was born in 2968; he was 12 when his parents died. He was adopted by Bilbo when he was 21 years old. That was in 2989. Bilbo would then be 99!!! Frodo turned 33 in 3001. That means he lived 12 years with Bilbo. Frodo set out on the Ring quest in 3018 right after his 50th birthday.

LOL. I can personally attest that there is something very "dangerous" in reaching the age of 50, at least if you're a hobbit!
