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 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?

THANK YOU!

trim+style needs 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12 hour

each day she can do (10/3) / (5/12) = 8 appointments.

So, that makes 40 appointments during the week.
since 1/4 + 1/6 is 5/12 it means 8 appointments. 8x5 is 40 appointments
1/4+1/6=5/12• 10/3=8•5=40

The hairstylist can schedule

appointments.
Stop acting like idiot's and answer the question
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. The amount of time it takes for the hair stylist to trim and style a customer's hair is thus 25 minutes because 15 + 10 = 25. 

Now 3 1/3 hours is 200 minutes, because 1/3 hour is 20 minutes (60/3 = 20), and 3 hours is 180 minutes (60 x 3 = 180). Together, 180 + 20 is 200 minutes. Multiplied by the 5 days of the week, the hair stylist will work 1000 minutes each week.

To figure out how many appointments a week the hair stylist can make, you should divide the number of minutes he or she will be working (1000) by the number of minutes it takes per appointment (25): 

1000/25 = 40
