Answer 1

Mary is 29 and her daughter is 6

Explanation:

when Mary was 23, her daughter was 0

so the product is 23 × 0 = 0

when Mary was 24, her daughter was 1

23 × 1 = 1

when Mary was 25, her daughter was 2

25 × 2 = 50

when Mary was 29, her daughter was 6

29 × 6 = 174

∴ Mary is 29 and her daughter is 6

(im sure there is a way easier method to find this ;-; but this is how i did it)

Answer 2

mary should be 29 while her daughter 6.

Product means the number that you get to by multiplying two or more other numbers together. so when u multiply 29 and 6 u get 174.
