Like, how do I explain this to make sense.
Lemme see... so let's say I got a 40 length x 20 width rectangle. I have to find out how many smaller rectangles can fit on that. Let's say the smaller rectangles is like 4 length x 2 width.
What's the formula for that? Better yet, is there a calculator out there that can assist me?

I'll take a stab at this.
Area=Length+Width
so I would figure that out for the two numbers
area of 40x20 is 800
area of 4 x 2 is 8
if you divide 800 by 8 you get 100
therefore you get 100 8x2 4x2 rectangles in a 40x20 space.

It's questions like this that make me not miss math at all in college. Passing my last math class for my graduation was one of the happiest days of my life.

Never was good at math. I thought you were asking about meth at first.

One. It’s smaller than the original and fits inside.
I f***ing hate math.
