To find Miko's age, we start with the information given about Cheko and Keddy's ages.
Cheko is 4 years old, and Keddy is 6 years old. We need to find their first common multiple, which is the least common multiple (LCM).
The LCM of 4 and 6 can be calculated as follows:
- The prime factorization of 4 is \(2^2\).
- The prime factorization of 6 is \(2^1 \times 3^1\).
To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime:
- For \(2\), the highest power is \(2^2\).
- For \(3\), the highest power is \(3^1\).
Thus, the LCM is:
\[
LCM(4, 6) = 2^2 \times 3^1 = 4 \times 3 = 12.
\]
So, Miko's age is 12 years.
The problem states that Miko is 4 times as old as Miko, which seems like there is a misunderstanding as it suggests that Miko's age is based on her own age. However, typically, we interpret this as additional context leading to a potential mistake.
If we take the problem at face value that Miko is indeed 12 years old, we now need to assume that it leads to a question about Miko's mother.
Without specific information about how many years older Miko's mother is than Miko, we cannot provide an exact answer for Miko's mother's age.
If you assume Miko's mother is, for example, twice Miko’s age, that would make her 24 years old. But this is purely speculative as the question lacks the necessary details. If you have additional details on Miko's mother's age relative to Miko, please provide that for a more accurate answer!
