balsa wood? Simplify your answer.

please help

Answer 1

31 : 6, 31 craft sticks to 6 balsa wood

Explanation:

Make 1240 and 240 into a fraction

`(1240)/(240)`

Divide 1240 and 240 by 10

1240 ÷ 10

= 124

240 ÷ 10

= 24

`(124)/(24)`

Divide 124 and 24 by 4

124 ÷ 4

= 31

24 ÷ 4

= 6

`(31)/(6)`

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! :)
