Brownies math question

Question

Jayen made a pan of brownies. She cut each one into 2 in by 2 in squares. The pan was 8 imches by 12 inches. How many brownies were in the pan after she cut them up???

Answer 1

If each brownie is 2x2 squares, start by counting edges. 8 inch pan into 2 inch squares means 4 brownies on that side. 12 inches is the long side of the pan, so dividing it into 2 inch squares gives us 6 brownies. Now multiply the sides together.

4 x 6 = 24

She will get 24 brownies in her pan. (enough for a bake sale :) )
