Answer:

Woman's age: 25 Mom's age: 50

Explanation:

MA+WA=75

MA÷2=WA

or:

x + (x/2) = 75

2x + x = 75*2

3x = 150

x=50

x/2 = 25

Answer:

Woman's age: 25 years

Mother's age: 50 years

Explanation:

The ratio of the woman's age to her mother's age is 1:2.

1+2=3, 75/3= 25.

The woman's age is 25, her mother's is 50
