Answer 1

Answer:

For Headband

Each player used 13.75 inches of fabric

For Wristband

Each player used 8.81 inches of fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

Glen is making accessories for the soccer team.

For head bands :

He uses 536.25 inches of fabric on headbands for 37 players and 2 coaches.

Let the inches of fabric used be represented by x

536.25 = 37 x + 2x

536.25 inches = 39x

x = 536.25 inches/39

x = 13.75 inches of fabric.

For Wristbands

He also uses 325.97 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players.

Let y represent the inches of fabric used for players

We have 37 players

Hence:

325.97 = 37y

y = 325.97 inches/37

y = 8.81 inches

Therefore:

For Headbands

Each player used 13.75 inches of fabric

For Wristbands

Each player used 8.81 inches of fabric
