A girl asks her mother's age and is told, Six years ago I was nine times your age. Now I am only three times your age.

What are the present ages of the girl and her mother?

Mother = 24
Girl = 8

So, six years ago would have been:
Mother = 18
Girl = 2

The mum was either keen to start a family early or did not listen too closely to the preventative parts in sex education!

Obviously correct!

I noticed that the system stripped off the quotation marks.
