Answer:

16 pieces

Explanation:

The area of the sheet is:

2438 x 3048 = 7,431,024

Area of piece of glass is:

584 * 762 = 445, 008

Number of pieces would be the area of the sheet divided by area of each piece. That would be:

7,431,024/445,008 = 16.7 pieces

Assuming we can't cut "fractional" piece, we would say 16 pieces max can be cut
