Question

Kristen is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 595.56 inches of fabric on headbands for 39 players and 3 coaches. She also uses 343.59 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answer 1

22.99 inches

Explanation:

According to problem, given data are as follows:

Fabric used for headband = 595.56 inches

Number of headbands made = 39 + 3 = 42

So, Fabric used per headband = 595.56 ÷ 42 = 14.18 inches per headband

Similarly, Fabric used for wristband = 343.59 inches

Number of wristbands made = 39

So, Fabric used per wristband = 343.59 ÷ 39 = 8.81 inches per wristband

So, Fabric used for each player = 14.18 inches + 8.81 inches

= 22.99 inches
