Answer 1

29.99 inches of fabric per player.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player given that Shauna uses 616.76 inches of fabric for headbands for 30 players and 4 coaches, and 282.90 inches of fabric for wristbands for the players.

Firstly, we find the total fabric used for headbands and wristbands:

• Headbands: 616.76 inches
• Wristbands: 282.90 inches

The total fabric used is then the sum of both:

Total fabric = 616.76 inches + 282.90 inches = 899.66 inches

This total fabric was used for the 30 players, as the coaches only received headbands. So, we divide the total fabric used by the number of players:

Fabric used per player = Total fabric / Number of players

Fabric used per player = 899.66 inches / 30 players = 29.99 inches

Therefore, 29.99 inches of fabric were used per player for both a headband and a wristband.
