Asking for a friend here, I'd solve it myself but I've got something on the stove...

Trying to work out (again, for a friend) how many objects can fit side by on a flat area.

Area length: 468"
Area width: 324"

Object length: 2"
Object width: 2"


Friend says "thanks" in advance hehe

Flat space
L×W= Area
468×324= 151632squared

Object
L×W=Area
2×2= 4squared

Flat space area divide by each object

151632÷4= 37,908 objects in area.

I think...

I got the same by doing the reverse:

(468/2)*(324/2) = 37,908


Works as the numbers are neat.
