You have 10 inches of ribbon and want to create some headbands for some toys. The headbands require 2 and 1/3
Inches of ribbon how many complete headbands can
You make
To determine the number of complete headbands you can make, you need to divide the total length of ribbon (10 inches) by the length of ribbon required for each headband (2 and 1/3 inches).
First, convert the length of ribbon required for each headband to a bigger fraction:
2 and 1/3 = 7/3
Then, divide the total length of ribbon by the length of ribbon required for each headband:
10 / (7/3) = 10 * (3/7) = 30/7
So, you can make approximately 4 complete headbands with 10 inches of ribbon.
To find out how many complete headbands you can make with 10 inches of ribbon, you need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length required for each headband.
Length of ribbon required for each headband: 2 and 1/3 inches
Total length of ribbon available: 10 inches
Now, let's calculate:
10 inches divided by 2 and 1/3 inches per headband
Convert 2 and 1/3 into fractions: 2 and 1/3 = 7/3
10 inches ÷ (7/3) inches/headband
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:
10 inches × (3/7) inches/headband
Simplifying the multiplication gives us:
(10 × 3) inches / (7 × 1) inches/headband
30 inches / 7 inches/headband
Therefore, you can make approximately 4 complete headbands with 10 inches of ribbon.
To find out how many complete headbands you can make with 10 inches of ribbon, you need to divide the total length of ribbon by the length required for each headband.
First, convert the length required for each headband to a common denominator. In this case, 2 and 1/3 inches can be written as 7/3 inches.
Now, divide the total length of ribbon by the length required for each headband:
10 inches ÷ 7/3 inches
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
10 inches × 3/7 inches
Now perform the multiplication:
(10 × 3) ÷ 7 = 30 ÷ 7 ≈ 4.2857
Since you can't have a fraction of a headband, you need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you can make 4 complete headbands with 10 inches of ribbon.
