For this case we have the following unit conversion:


1 ft = 12 inches

Therefore, we have:


2 ft = 24 inches

Then, the amount of notepads that can fit in the box is:


n = \frac {width\ of\ the\ box} {width\ of\ each\ notepad}

Substituting values ​​we have:


n = \frac {24} {2}\\n = 12

Answer:

The number of notepads is equal to 12.
