Final answer:

Jasmine can cut one customer's hair in 30 minutes and works 7 hours a day. Converting her working hours into minutes (420 minutes), and dividing by the time per customer, shows that she can see 14 customers per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many customers Jasmine can see if she can cut a customer’s hair in 30 minutes and works 7 hours a day, we first need to convert her working hours into minutes. Jasmine works for 7 hours a day, and there are 60 minutes in an hour, so she works for a total of 7 × 60 = 420 minutes each day.

Now, if it takes Jasmine 30 minutes to cut one customer’s hair, we divide the total number of minutes she works by the time it takes to service one customer to find out how many customers she can see in a day:

420 minutes ÷ 30 minutes/customer = 14 customers per day.

Therefore, the answer is:

A. 14
