Answer:

36.98 inches each

Explanation:

He uses 857.77 inches of fabric on headbands for 29 players and 2 coaches

29 players + 2 couches = 31 people

Inches per person = 857.77 inches / 31 people

= 27.67 inches for headbands

He also uses 269.99 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players.

Inches per person = 269.99 inches / 29 players

= 9.31 inches for wristband

How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player = 27.67 inches for headbands + 9.31 inches for wristband

= 36.98 inches each
