balu736 [363]

Answer:

a) $y=9x$

b) $y=7x$

Step-by-step explanation:

In both parts of the problem y varies directly as x. So, they have the following form:

$y=kx$

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Therefore, you must find k and then write the equations.

a) Solve for k:

$k=\frac{72}{8}\\k=9$

Then, the equation is:

$y=9x$

b) Solve for k:

$k=\frac{98}{14}\\k=7$

Then, the equation is:

$y=7x$

Nancy is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 598.66 inches of fabric on headbands for 35 players and 2 coaches. She

Mashcka [7]

Answer: There is 16.18 inches of fabric used on a headband and 8.63 inches of fabric used on a wristband for each player.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of players = 35

Number of coaches = 2

Number of inches of fabric on headbands = 598.66 inches

Number of inches of fabric on wristbands just for the players = 302.05 inches

Length of fabric used on a head band for each player is given by

$\frac{\text{ Total inches}}{\text{Total number of persons}}\\\\=\frac{598.66}{37}\\\\=16.18\ inches$

Length of fabric used on a wristband for each player is given by

$\frac{\text{Total inches}}{\text{ Number of players }}\\\\=\frac{302.05}{35}\\\\=8.63\ inches$

Hence, there is 16.18 inches of fabric used on a headband and 8.63 inches of fabric used on a wristband for each player.
