Question 1205495
<br>
We can guess what the proper presentation of the problem is supposed to be....  But as presented, the problem is nonsense.<br>
Word problems involving people's ages only make sense if the ages are whole numbers of years.<br>
In this problem, the mother's age divided by 2 leaves 1 year left over, so the mother's age in years is an odd number.<br>
But Janet's age in years can't be one-sixth of an odd number, because one-sixth of an odd number is never a whole number.<br>
