The daughter is 16 years old. This is because to find the sum of their ages now you multiply 6 ( the amount of years that have passed) by 2 (1 year for each woman) and the answer is 12. Then you add 36+ 12 which is 48. Since the mom is three times older than her daughter you divide 48 by 3 which equals 16. I hope this helps!
