Question

Lucas is making accessories for the soccer team. He uses 587.19 inches of fabric on headbands for 35 players and 2 coaches. He also uses 302.05 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answer 1

Answer: 24.5 inches

Explanation:

Luca used 587.19 inches for 35 players and 2 coaches:

= 35 + 2

= 37 people.

The inches per person used for headband is:

= 587.19/37

= 15.87 inches

Luca then used 302.05 inches for just players who number 35 to make wristbands. Inches used per player is:

= 302.05/35

= 8.63 inches

Fabric used for each player is therefore:

= 15.87 + 8.63

= 24.5 inches
