Question

Sheila is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 623.22 inches of fabric on headbands for 32 players and 2 coaches. She also uses 276.16 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answer 1

26.96 inches of fabrics per person

Explanation:

Headband

Number of players = 32

Number of coaches = 2

Total people = 32 + 2 = 34

Total fabrics used for headband = 623.22 inches

Fabrics per person = Total fabrics used for headband / Total people

= 623.22/34

= 18.33 inches per person

Wristband

Number of players = 32

Total fabrics used for wristband = 276.16 inches

Fabrics per person = Total fabrics used for wristband / Number of players

= 276.16 / 32

= 8.63 inches per person

Total fabrics used for headband and wristband for each player = 18.33 inches + 8.63 inches

= 26.96 inches of fabrics per person
