Question

Greg is making accessories for the soccer team. He uses 813.44 inches of fabric on headbands for 37 players and 4 coaches. He also uses 358.16 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answer 1

Total number of people including players and coach is, T = 37 + 4 = 41.

Total fabric used for making headbands is, h = 813.44 inches.

So, amount of fabric used for each person is :

$F_h = \dfrac{813.44}{41}\\\\F_h = 19.84\ inches$

Total fabric used for making wristband is : w = 358.16 inches.

Amount of fabric used for each person is :

$F_w = \dfrac{358.16}{41}\\\\F_w = 8.74 \ inches$

Hence, this is the required solution.
