Emily needs to buy fabric to make curtain panels for her windows. Each panel will be 4 feet long and 1/2 foot wide. Each piece of fabric that she can buy is 4 feet long and 2 feet wide . How many panels can she make from i piece of fabric?
The pieces of fabric are already the correct length, so it is just a matter of how many panels will fit into one piece of fabric. 2/(1/2) = 4, so she can make 4 panels from 1 piece of fabric.
