Question

Sheila is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 776.32 inches of fabric on headbands for 29 players and 3 coaches. She also uses 247.66 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answer 1

`32.8\ \text{inches}`

Explanation:

Fabric used for players and coaches is 776.32 inches.

Number of players is 29 and coaches is 3

So fabric used for each player and coach for the headbands is

`(776.32)/(29+3)=24.26\ \text{inches}`

So, for the players
`24.26\ \text{inches}` of fabric will be used for the headbands.

Total fabric used for the wristbands is 247.66 inches

Fabric used for the wristband is

`(247.66)/(29)=8.54\ \text{inches}`

So, total amount of fabric used by Shelia for the wristband and headband is
`24.26+8.54=32.8\ \text{inches}`.
