Question

Dwight is making accessories for the soccer team. He uses 715.58 inches of fabric on headbands for 34 players and 3 coaches. He also uses 298.86 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answer 1

28.13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fabrics for headbands = 715.58 inches

Total number of people = 34 players + 3 coaches

= 37 people

Fabrics used for headband per person = Total fabrics for headbands / Total number of people

= 715.58 inches / 37 people

= 19.34 inches

Fabrics used for headband per person = 19.34 inches

Total fabrics for wristband = 298.86 inches

Total number of people = 34

Fabrics used for wristband per person = Total fabrics for wristbands / Total number of people

= 298.86 inches / 34

= 8.79 inches

Fabric used on headband and wristband for each player = Fabrics used for headband per person + Fabrics used for wristband per person

= 19.34 inches + 8.79 inches

= 28.13 inches
