Jennifer has 76 inches of string to make bracelets. She uses 8 inches for each bracelet. How many bracelets can she make?

Personally there plenty of ways to solve this first I would either keep subtracting 8 from 76

Or
Keep adding 8 inches till you get to 76
But sometimes it not a whole number meaning it might have a decimal
For example
8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72 80
Since she needs 8 inches for every bracelet
Then it looks like she will only be able to make 9 bracelets in total
