How many 12 inch x 24 inches can I get out of a 4 foot x 8 foot sheet of plexiglass?

A 4 foot x 8 foot sheet of plexiglass measures 48 inches x 96 inches. Each 12 inch x 24 inch piece has an area of 2 square feet (1 square foot = 12 inches x 12 inches). The total area of the 4x8 sheet is 32 square feet, so you can fit 16 pieces of 12 inch x 24 inch plexiglass out of it (32 square feet ÷ 2 square feet per piece = 16 pieces).
