To find out how old Maria's mom is, we can use the information given in the question. We know that Maria is 8 years old and her mom is 4 times as old as Maria.
1. Maria's age: 8 years
2. Maria's mom's age: 4 times Maria's age
3. To find Maria's mom's age, we multiply Maria's age by 4:
8 years (Maria's age) x 4 = 32 years
Therefore, Maria's mom is 32 years old.
