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

Find the are of a parallelogram that has a base of 7 1/2 and a height of 5 2/7
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

\sf A=bh

Plug in what we know:

\sf A=(7\dfrac{1}{2})(5\dfrac{2}{7})

Convert both of them into improper fractions. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

\sf A=(\dfrac{15}{2})(\dfrac{37}{7})

Now multiply the numerators and denominators together:

\sf A=\dfrac{15}{2}\cdot\dfrac{37}{7}\rightarrow\dfrac{15\cdot 37}{2\cdot 7}\rightarrow\dfrac{555}{14}

Convert it back into a mixed number. 14 goes into 555 thirty-nine times. 14 * 39 = 546. 555 - 546 = 9. So we have 39 wholes and 9 left over, or:

\sf 39\dfrac{9}{14}

So this is the area of the parallelogram.
