Can you make this shorter and write it like a 8th grader
To calculate how many headbands we can make from a ribbon, divide the total length by the length needed for each headband. If we have 10 inches of ribbon and each headband requires 2 and 1/3 inches (or 7/3 inches), divide 10 inches by 7/3 inches. This equals (30/7) inches. The quotient tells us the number of complete headbands we can make. In this case, we can only make one complete headband.
If we have a ribbon that is 10 inches long and each headband needs 2 and 1/3 inches (or 7/3 inches), we can figure out how many headbands we can make by dividing 10 inches by 7/3 inches. This equals (30/7) inches. The answer tells us that we can only make one complete headband.
Sure! Here's a shorter explanation for an 8th grader:
To find out how many headbands we can make from a ribbon, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the length needed for each headband. For example, if we have 10 inches of ribbon and each headband needs 2 and 1/3 inches (or 7/3 inches), we divide 10 inches by 7/3 inches. This gives us (30/7) inches. The answer tells us how many full headbands we can make. In this case, we can only make one full headband.
Sure! To figure out how many headbands we can make from a ribbon, we need to do some math. Let's say we have 10 inches of ribbon, and each headband needs 2 and 1/3 inches (or 7/3 inches).
First, we divide the total length of the ribbon (10 inches) by the length needed for each headband (7/3 inches). This gives us a fraction, (10/1) divided by (7/3). We can change this division problem to a multiplication problem by flipping the second fraction, so it becomes (10/1) multiplied by (3/7).
When we multiply these fractions, we get (30/7) inches. This means we can make about 4 and 2/7 headbands. But since we can't have a fraction of a headband, we can only make one complete headband.
