If the whole office is carpeted, then it means that all the 8 cubicles are carpeted.
Thus, if 1/4th of the office is carpeted, it implies that 8 * 1/4 cubicles are carpeted.
Therefore, two cubicles are carpeted.
Alternate analysis:
If the whole office is carpeted through 8 cubicles, half (1/2) the office is carpeted through 4 cubicles.
=> 1/4 office is carpeted through 2 cubicles.

Total number of cubicles in the office = 8.
One fourth or 0.25 of the cubicles is carpeted.
Therefore, number of cubicles that are carpeted = 8 x 1/4 = 8 x .25 = 2.
Hence, out of 8 cubicles in the office, only 2 cubicles are carpeted while remaining 6 remains uncarpeted.
