Start with the reverse. If you had half a pizza and you wanted to divide it by quarters of a pizza, you'd be able to do it 4 times (there are four quarter slices in a half pizza).
But with this we're asking how many half-pizza slices are in a quarter-pizza slice. The answer is that there's half of one (half of a half is a quarter).
