Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side lengths of the rectangular pan be m and n. It follows that (m-2)  (n-2)= mn/2

So, since haf of the brownie pieces are in the interior. This gives 2 (m-2) (n-2) =mn

mn- 2m - 2n- 4 = 0

Then Adding 8 to both sides and applying, we obtain (m-2) (n-2) =8

Since now, m and n are both positive, we obtain (m,n) = (5,12), (6,8) (up to ordering). By inspection, 5. 12 = 60

which maximizes the number of brownies in total which is the greatest number.

Hope that helped! =)

Clare mixes 2 and one half cups of water with one third cup of orange juice concentrate.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:2 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/2 + 1/3 = 15/6 + 2/6 = 17/6 cup

(2/6)/(17/6) = (2/6)(6/17) = 2/17 (two parts in 17), or 11.8%

1 2/3 + 1/4 = 5/3 + 1/4 = 20/12 + 3/12 = 23/12 cup

(3/12)/(23/12) = (3/12)(12/23) = 3/23 (three parts in 23), or 13.04%
