    Jack will have exactly 1 conflict per month. An easy way to do this is to visualize what he has to do each month.

    Basketball:

    3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

    Babysits:

    7, 14, 21, 28

    Looking above, you can see that only one number is the same, which means there is only one conflict in a 30 day period.
