Question

Sheila is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 784.96 inches of fabric on headbands for 28 players and 4 coaches. She also uses 238.28 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: 3.28 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 inches

So, for the players 24.26 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 inches

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