To determine the number of complete headbands that can be made, we need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length required for each headband.

Given that we have 10 inches of ribbon and each headband requires 2 and 1/3 inches, we first need to convert the mixed number into a fraction.

2 and 1/3 inches can be written as a fraction: 2/1 + 1/3 = 6/3 + 1/3 = 7/3 inches.

Now, let's divide 10 inches by 7/3 inches.

10 inches ÷ (7/3 inches) = 10 inches × (3/7 inches) = (30/7) inches.

To find the number of complete headbands, we divide the total length by the required length for one headband.

(30/7) inches ÷ (7/3) inches = (30/7) inches × (3/7 inches) = 90/49 ≈ 1.84 headbands.

Since we cannot have a fraction of a headband, we can only make the complete number of headbands, which is 1.
Can you make this into a simpler paragraph

To determine the number of complete headbands that can be made from a ribbon, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the length required for each headband. Let's take an example - if we have 10 inches of ribbon and each headband requires 2 and 1/3 inches, we need to convert the mixed number into a fraction. This comes out to be 7/3 inches. Dividing 10 inches by 7/3 inches gives us (30/7) inches. To find the number of complete headbands, we divide the total length by the required length for one headband. In this case, it gives us 1. Therefore, only one complete headband can be made from the given ribbon length.

To determine the number of complete headbands that can be made, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the length required for each headband. In this case, we have 10 inches of ribbon and each headband requires 2 and 1/3 inches, which can be written as 7/3 inches. So, we divide 10 inches by 7/3 inches, which equals (30/7) inches. To find the number of complete headbands, we divide the total length by the required length for one headband, which is (30/7) inches ÷ (7/3) inches = (90/49), approximately 1.84 headbands. Since we can't have a fraction of a headband, we can only make one complete headband.

Sure! To determine the number of complete headbands that can be made from a given length of ribbon, we need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length required for each headband. For example, if we have 10 inches of ribbon and each headband requires 2 and 1/3 inches (or 7/3 inches), we first need to convert the mixed number into a fraction. Then, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the required length for one headband. In this case, we get approximately 1.84 headbands. Since we cannot have a fraction of a headband, we can only make the complete number of headbands, which is 1.
