What proportion of individuals have long legs in generations

Imagine an animal that shows two variants; one long-legged and one short-legged. Each female produces 2 female offspring per generation and then dies. The offspring of the long-legged ones survive to adulthood (reproductive age) with a probability of 3/5 and the offspring of the short-legged ones survive to adulthood with a probability of 2/5. If you begin with a population of 60 females of each type, what proportion of individuals will have long legs in 5 generations? (Note that you can ignore males and count only females and their offspring.
