Question

A hairstylist schedules 1/4 hour to trim a customers hair and 1/6 hour to style the customers hair. the hairstylist plans to work 3 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? (show work)

Answer 1

To make it simple make them all the same fraction

6/24 to trim 4/24 to style and she wants to work for 80/24 hours for 5 days

if each appointment she wants to take 6/24 to trim and 4/24 to style then every appointment will take 10/24 of an hour.

she wants to do 80/24 so she can do 8 appointments a day if each take 10/24

8 appointments a day 5 days a week

8x5= 40
