​

Answer 1

The age of the mother is 42 years, while the age of the girl is 7 years.

Explanation:

Given that 1/6 of the age of a mother is the age of her daughter, to determine the age of the mother if the difference of their age is 35, the following calculations must be performed:

6 - 1/6 = 5/6

5/6 = 35

35/5 = 7

7 + 35 = 42 = 7 x 6

7 = 7 x 1

Therefore, the age of the mother is 42 years, while the age of the girl is 7 years.
