Using a calculator
10 & 2/7 = 10+(2/7)
10 & 2/7 = 10+0.28571428571429
10 & 2/7 = 10.28571428571429
6/7 = 0.85714285714286
-----------------------------------------
In decimal form, the tube is approximately 10.28571428571429 inches long. Each spacer is approximately 0.85714285714286 inches thick
Divide the two values
10.28571428571429/0.85714285714286 = 12
So we can make 12 spacers
