Start by calculating the area of a single brownie using


A=L\cdot W
\begin{gathered} A=7\operatorname{cm}\cdot5\operatorname{cm} \\ A=35\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

To find the amount of brownies Joe can make in his pan, divide the area of the pan into the single brownie area


(560)/(35)=16

Joe had 16 brownies.
