Answer:

31 : 6, 31 craft sticks to 6 balsa wood

Step-by-step explanation:

Make 1240 and 240 into a fraction

[tex] \frac{1240}{240} [/tex]

Divide 1240 and 240 by 10

1240 ÷ 10

= 124

240 ÷ 10

= 24

[tex] \frac{124}{24} [/tex]

Divide 124 and 24 by 4

124 ÷ 4

= 31

24 ÷ 4

= 6

[tex] \frac{31}{6} [/tex]

This can be written as 31 : 6, 31 craft sticks to 6 balsa wood in addition to the fraction.

Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
