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.
