Answer:

Head bands: 18.58 inches of fabric

Wrist bands : 8.51 inches of fabric

Explanation:

Jillian is making accessories for the soccer team.

For head bands

She uses 761.78 inches of fabric on headbands for 39 players and 2 coaches.

The total number of people = 39 player + 2 coaches = 41 people

Hence:

41 persons = 761.78 inches of fabric

1 person = x

Cross Multiply

41 × x = 761.78 × 1

x = 761.78/48

x = 18.58 inches

For wristbands

She also uses 331.89 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players.

Number of players = 39 players

Hence:

39 players = 331.89 inches

1 players = x inches

Cross Multiply

39 × x = 1 × 331.89 inches

x = 331.89 inches/39

x = 8.51 inches

Therefore:

18.58 inches of fabric was used for head bands and 8.51 inches of fabrics was used for wristbands.
