Question

A hairstylist schedules hour to trim a customer's hair and hour to style the customer's hair. The hairstylist plans to

work 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?
appointments

Answer 1

5 customers

Explanation:

If she takes 1 hour to trim and 1 hour to style, she will take 2 hours per customer.

She plans to work 3 hours a day. So, she can only fit 1 customer in per day because if she scheduled 2 she would need at least 4 hours.

If she can only have 1 customer per day over a 5 day week she will only be able to schedule 5 customers per week.
