A hairstylist schedules [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hour to trim a customer's hair and [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] hour to style the customer's hair. The hairstylist plans to work [tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex] 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)

So a trim lasts 1/4 60=15 minutes and a style lasts 1/6 60=10 minutes. If we add these together, 15+10=25 minutes that is how long each customer takes. In one day she works for 3 1/3 60=200 minutes in total, so can fit in 200/25=8 appointments per day. So in 5 days she can have 8 5=40 total appointments each week.

The hairstylist takes 12 5 ​ hour per customer, equating to 25 minutes. Working 200 minutes a day allows for 8 appointments, resulting in 40 appointments over 5 days. Thus, the hairstylist can schedule 40 appointments each week.
