Default Fabric Question for a math whiz

I have a quilt pattern that doesn't give rotary cutting instructions. It just says how many squares and strips to cut. EX: 70 strips @ 2 x 3 1/2, 70 strip @ 2 x 5 1/2, 28 strip @ 2x12, etc.

I know they can be rotary cut, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to calculate how many strips I'd need to cut.

Hoping someone will help me out. Soooooo....

If a quilt patterns says to cut 28 2x12-inch strips and my material is 44 inches wide...how many strips do I cut?

What is the formula for calculating that.

Sorry to be such a dummy. I have a Master's degree but it wasn't in math. LOL

Stuck here.

TIA,
Dray
