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.
