Answer 1

Given that:

- Jared uses 811.68 inches of fabric on headbands for 34 players and 4 coaches.

- He uses 329.12 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players.

Let be "h" the amount of fabric (in inches) that was used on a headband and "w" the amount of fabric (in inches) that was used on a wristband for each player.

• Since the headbands are for 34 players and 4 coaches, the total number of headbands are:

$34+4=38$

Then, you can determine that:

$h=\frac{811.68}{38}$

Solving the Division, you get:

$h=21.36$

• Knowing that the wristbands are for the players, you can set up that:

$w=\frac{329.12}{34}$

Solving the Division, you get:

$w=9.68$

Hence, the answer is:

• The amount of fabric used on a headband was:

$21.36in$

• The amount of fabric used on a wristband was:

$9.68in$
