Answer 1

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.
