Answer: Since 30-40-d resembles a 3-4-5, 37-53-90 degree triangle, then the boat actually travels 30 + 40 miles while being displaced 50 miles 37 deg N of E. 49. Answer: Let 3/h = 1/12 and multiply both sides by ‘h’ and 12 to isolate ‘h': [12h][3/h] = 1/12[12h] ===> h = 36 users. 50. Answer: Let 1/3 = 12x and divide both sides by ’12’ to isolate ‘x': [1/3]/12 = 12x/12 => x = 1/36 Find more free GED Practice tests and learning tips: www.BestGedClasses.com
