Answer:

16.78 inches of fabric was used for headbands for each player and 8.81 inches of fabric was used for wristbands for each player

Explanation:

Lane is making accessories for the soccer team.

For headbands

He uses 721.54 inches of fabric on headbands for 41 players and 2 coaches.

Hence:

Let the number of inches used for headbands be represented by x

41x + 2x = 721.54

43x = 721.54

x = 721.54/43

x = 16.78 inches

Hence the number of inches used to make head band for 1 player is 16.78 inches

He also uses 361.21 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players.

We have 41 players hence:

41 players = 361.21 inches

1 player = x

41 × x = 1 × 361.21 inches

x = 361.21 inches/41

x = 8.81 inches

8.81 inches of fabric was used for wristbands for each player.

Hence:

16.78 inches of fabric was used for headbands for each player and 8.81 inches of fabric was used for wristbands for each player
