Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hairstylist schedule:

1/4 hour to trim a customer's hair

1/6 hour to style the customer's hair

Work per week:

2 × 1/3 hours per day

= 7/3 hours oer day

5 days a week

Hours in a week = 7/3 × 5

= 35/3 hours per week.

A customer must have hair styled and trimmed.

Total number of hours per customer = 1/4 + 1/6

= 5/12 hours per customer.

Therefore, 28 appointments can be nade each week.

Total number of hours per week = 5/12 × number of customers, n

35/3 = 5/12 n

n = 28 customers per week
