Question

Nancy is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 877.76 inches of fabric on headbands for 30 players and 2 coaches. She also uses 263.70 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player? I am having trouble with this one.

Answer 1

36. 22 inches

Explanation:

Given that :

Head band fabric :

Total = 877.76 inches

Number of players = 30

Number of coaches = 2

Total number = (30 + 2) = 32

Head band Fabric per person :

877.76 / 32

= 27.43

Wristband fabric:

Total fabric used = 263.70

Number of players = 30

Wristband fabric per player :

263.70 / 30 = 8.79

Amount o fabric used on headband and Wristband for each player :

(27.43 + 8.79) = 36.22 inches of fabric per player
