Question

Sean is making accessories for the soccer team she uses 671.16 in at work on headbands for 39 players and three coaches she also uses 336.57 in the fabric on wristbands just for the players how much fabric is used on the headband and wristband for each player

Answer 1

Headband: 15.98 in.

Wristband: 8.63 in.

Explanation:

In this problem, we call:

h = the amount of fabric used for each headband

w = the amount of fabric used for each wristband

We are told that:

Sean uses 671.16 in at on headbands for 39 players and three coaches, so the total number of headbands made is 42

Therefore, we can write

`671.16 = 42 h`

And solving for h, we find

`h=(671.16)/(42)=15.98 in.`

Then we also know that Sean uses 336.57 in the fabric on wristbands just for the players, so he produced 39 wristbands; so we can write:

`336.57 = 39w`

And solving for w,

`w=(336.57)/(39)=8.63 in.`
