I'm trying to help my little brother with his math he's in 4th grade. I have no idea how to answer these questions
Julie, a carpenter, has two measuring sticks. The lengths of the two measuring sticks are the two prime numbers between 4 and 10. What are the lengths of the measuring sticks? If Julie wants to cut a length of 1 unit, how can this be done with the fewest number of cuts?
