----------------------------------------------
Calculate Jean's rate
----------------------------------------------
Jean takes 8 hours to fill the pool.
So in 1 hour, she can fill 1/8 of the pool

----------------------------------------------
Calculate Mark's rate
----------------------------------------------
Mark takes 12 hours to fill the pool.
So in 1 hour, he can fill 1/12 of the pool.

----------------------------------------------
Calculate their rate if they work together
----------------------------------------------
Jean = 1/8
Mark = 1/12
1/8 + 1/12 = 3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24 
They will fill 5/24 of the pool in 1 hour

----------------------------------------------
Find number of hours needed to fill up the pool
----------------------------------------------
I hour = 5/24 of the pool
1 ÷ 5/24 hour = 5/24 ÷ 5/24 of the pool
24/5 hour =  Whole pool

Whole pool = 24/5 hours 
Whole pool = 4 4/5 hours  or 4.8 hours

----------------------------------------------
Ans: The supervisor is not correct, it will take only 4.8 hours if both of them work together.
----------------------------------------------

Answer:

<em>The gold vein is  96 miles away from the farthest gold dust strike.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance Between two Points in the Plane </u>

Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

d=\sqrt{(z-y)^2+(w-x)^2}

The prospector positioned the gold vein at  (-2,9) and the farthest gold dust strike at (94,9). We are required to calculate the distance between these two points. Use the formula:

d=\sqrt{(9-9)^2+(94-(-2))^2}

d=\sqrt{0^2+96^2}

d=\sqrt{96^2}=96

The distance is 96 units, but we know each unit on the graph represents 1 mile, thus the gold vein is 96 miles away from the farthest gold dust strike.

Answer:

3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the number of students who prefer cheese AND vegetable pizza is 16 cheese + 2 vegetable = 18 combined

We also know that the number of students who prefer sausage AND pepperoni pizza is 3 sausage + 3 pepperoni = 6 combined

If we take the ratio between these figures, this ratio would be 18:6 (read as 18 to 6) which simplifies to 3:1 (read as 3 to 1).
