Total yards = $2$

Step2: Identify strip length per piece

Strip length = $\frac{1}{5}$

Step3: Set up division for strip count

Number of strips = $\text{total yards} \div \text{fraction per yard}$
<Expression>
$2 \div \frac{1}{5} = 2 \times 5 = 10$

Answer:

First dropdown (dividend): total number of yards ($2$)
Second dropdown (divisor): fraction of a yard ($\frac{1}{5}$)
Number of strips: $10$
