The ratio is 5:39. We cannot simplify it, so the odds are 5:39.
let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind that the LCD of 4 and 2 is 4.

Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
we can factorize it as
so as you can see there aren't any square numbers there
so the biggest is 1
because 1 is always a perfect square
Answer: Ms. Van Vugt will need 2 cups of milk or 1 pint of milk to make 48 brownies.
Step-by-step explanation: For this situation, we know for every 12 brownies she will use 1/2 cup of milk. So we can count up for every 12 brownies.
12 brownies = 1/2 cup of milk
24 brownies = 1 cup of milk
36 brownies = 1 1/2 cup of milk
48 brownies = 2 cups of milk
So, Ms. Van Vugt will need 2 cups of milk or 1 pint of milk to make 48 brownies.
