first make the 6 feet into inches. This is 6 x 12 = 72 and divide by 2.25 inches

Multiply 6 feet * the conversion ratio of 12 inches/ 1 foot.  Now divide the result by 2.25 inches/piece, and you'll have the number of pieces of tape.

if you divide by this number you can see how many equal division of 2 fourths of an inch you get out of 72.
