A hairstylist schedules 1/4 hour to trim a customer's hair and 1/6 hour to style the customer's hair. The hairstylist plans to w
ork 5 1/3 hours each day for 5 days each week. How many appointments can the hairstylist schedule each week if each customer must be trimmed and styled?
The hair stylist can make 40 appointments a week. The easiest way to solve this problem is to convert the hours to minutes, which will get rid of the fractions. 1/4 hour is 15 minutes because 60/4 = 15, and 1/6 hour is 10 minutes because 60/6 = 10.
