Answer:

26.8 inches of fabrics was used on headband and wristband for each player

Explanation:

Headbands for 31 players and 3 couches = 611.66 inches of fabric

Total number of people = 31 players + 3 couches

= 31 + 3

= 34 people

Fabrics per person's headbands = Total inches of fabrics for headbands / total number of people

= 611.66 inches of fabric / 34 people

= 17.99 inches of fabrics per person

Wristband for 31 players = 273.11 inches of fabric

Fabric per person's wristband = total inches of fabrics for wristband / number of players

= 273.11 inches of fabric / 31

= 8.81 inches per person

How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

= Fabrics per person's headbands + Fabric per person's wristband

= 17.99 inches + 8.81 inches

= 26.8 inches of fabrics was used on headband and wristband for each player
