Answer 1

Given that:

- Jared uses 811.68 inches of fabric on headbands for 34 players and 4 coaches.

- He uses 329.12 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players.

Let be "h" the amount of fabric (in inches) that was used on a headband and "w" the amount of fabric (in inches) that was used on a wristband for each player.

• Since the headbands are for 34 players and 4 coaches, the total number of headbands are:

`34+4=38`

Then, you can determine that:

`h=(811.68)/(38)`

Solving the Division, you get:

`h=21.36`

• Knowing that the wristbands are for the players, you can set up that:

`w=(329.12)/(34)`

Solving the Division, you get:

`w=9.68`

Hence, the answer is:

• The amount of fabric used on a headband was:

`21.36in`

• The amount of fabric used on a wristband was:

`9.68in`
