The age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned  = 29 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question is INCOMPLETE.

Laura takes very good care of her vehicles. She owns a blue van and a red truck. Although she bought them both new, she has owned the truck for 17 years longer than she has owned the van. If the sum of the ages of the vehicles is 41 years, how old is the van and how old is the truck?

Let us assume the number of years Laura has owned the van = S years

So, according to the question:

The number of years she has owned truck = S + 17 years

Now, Sum of the age of ( Truck + Van)  = 41 years

⇒ (S + 17 years) + (S years)  = 41 years

or, 2 S +  17 = 41

or, 2 S  = 4 1 -1 7 = 24

or, S  = 24/2 = 12 years

or, S  = 12 years

Hence the age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned  = S  + 17  = 12 + 17 = 29 years

17. Evaluate a. 6! b. 8P5 c. 12C4
Andreyy89
The factorial ! just means we multiply by every natural number less that the value so
6! =6×5×4×3×2×1= 720

for permutations we use the formula n!/(n-r)!
so we have 8!/(8-5)!=8!/3!=8×7×6×5×4

for combinations s we have n!/(n-r)!r!
so we have 12!/(12-4)!4!=12!/8!4!=12×11×10×9/4×3×2=11×10×9/2=99×5

A bowl contained 250 skittles. The result of 25 fruit-flavored candies pulled at random is given below. Based on this informatio
Anastaziya [24]

OK so you have 250 skittles. But you only pull out 25. You pull out 5 red skittles, 7 yellow skittles,8 orange skittles,2 green skittles and 3 purple skittles. So how many red skittles are in the whole box. The way i would look at it is theres 5 red skittles in every 25 skittles. So whats 250 divided by 25 that would be 10. So you can imagine you have 10 groups of skittles. In each group theres 5 skittles. So all together there would be 50 red skittles. Sooo based on the infromation there would be 50 red skittles expected in the box. I hope this helped pls mark me as brainliest!!

What is the surface area of a conical grain storage tank that has a height of 37 meters and a diameter of 16 meters? Round the a
jek_recluse [69]
The surface area of a cone is equal to the base plus the lateral area.

The base is a circle, and has a diameter of 16 meters.
The radius is always half the diameter, so it is 8 meters.
The area of a circle = πr², where r is the radius. π(8)² = 64π ≈ 201.06193
The area of the base is ≈ 201.06193.

To find the lateral area of the cone, we need to find the slant height.
Since the height, radius, and slant height of the cone form a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the slant height with what we are given.
radius² + height² = slant height²
8² + 37² = slant height²
64 + 1369 = slant height²
1433 = slant height²
slant height = √1433

The lateral area of a cone is equal to πrl, where r = radius and l = slant height.
πrl = π(8)(√1433) ≈ 951.39958
(there are other formulas which do the same thing, but it doesn't matter.)

Now we add the lateral area and base together to find our surface area.
201.06193 + 951.39958 = 1152.46151 which rounds to C. 1,152 m².
