Question

Jillian is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 828.92 inches of fabric on headbands for 31 players and 3 coaches. She also uses 273.11 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answer 1

First, read and study the problem to figure out what it is asking you to find.

This problem is asking me to find the amount of fabric used for each player's headband and writstband.

Now, let's look at what information is given:

• 828.92 inches of fabric used for headbands

• 273.11 inches of fabric on wristbands

• she makes 31 headbands for the players and 3 for the coaches. -- 31 + 3 = 34 headbands

• she only makes wristbands for the players --- 31 wristbands

Let's make a plan:

Step 1: Find out how much fabric is used for each headband (divide by 34)

Step 2: Find out how much fabric is used for each wristband (divide by 31)

Step 3: Add the amount of fabric for each headband to the amount of fabric for each wristband to solve.
