now lets say youre given the following: how many buggies can you build?
12 wheels
2 seats
1 engine
5 sets of controls

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate buggies from wheels

Number of buggies from wheels: $\frac{12}{4}=3$

Step2: Calculate buggies from seats

Number of buggies from seats: $\frac{2}{1}=2$

Step3: Calculate buggies from engine

Number of buggies from engine: $\frac{1}{1}=1$

Step4: Calculate buggies from controls

Number of buggies from controls: $\frac{5}{1}=5$
