Question

each repair takes about 1 1/4 hours how many appointments can he fit in during a 7 1/2-hours a day

Answer 1

To determine how many appointments can be fit into a 7.5-hour day when each repair takes 1.25 hours, we can follow these steps:

1. Convert 7.5 hours to minutes:
\[
7.5 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 450 \text{ minutes}
\]

2. Convert 1.25 hours to minutes:
\[
1.25 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 75 \text{ minutes}
\]

3. Divide the total minutes available by the duration of each appointment:
\[
\frac{450 \text{ minutes}}{75 \text{ minutes/appointment}} = 6
\]

Therefore, he can fit **6 appointments** in a 7.5-hour day.
