Can you make this paragraph shorter?
To determine how many whole headbands we can make from a ribbon, 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 requires 2 and 1/3 inches (or 7/3 inches), divide 10 inches by 7/3 inches. This gives us (30/7) inches. The resulting quotient tells us the number of complete headbands we can make. In this case, we can only make one complete headband from the given ribbon length.
