Question

Karina is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 786.15 inches of fabric on headbands

for 43 players and 2 coaches. She also uses 400.33 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the
players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answer 1

26.79

Explanation:

To find the total amount of fabric used for both headbands and wristbands for each player, we need to divide the total amount of fabric used for headbands by the total number of players and coaches, and add that to the amount of fabric used for wristbands per player.

First, we need to find the total number of players and coaches:

43 players + 2 coaches = 45 people

Next, we need to find the total amount of fabric used for headbands and wristbands per person:

Total fabric used per person = (total fabric used for headbands) / (total number of people) + (fabric used for wristbands per player)

Total fabric used per person = (786.15 inches) / (45 people) + (400.33 inches) / (43 players)

Total fabric used per person = 17.47 inches + 9.32 inches

Total fabric used per person = 26.79 inches

Therefore, Karina used a total of 26.79 inches of fabric on a headband and wristband for each player.
