Frederick is making popsicles to sell and to save money he is making his own popsicle sticks. He can get 200 sticks from a 2 x 4 piece of wood and 400 sticks from a 2 x 8 piece of wood. He has $24 to buy wood for sticks. A 2 x 4 costs $4. A 2 x 8 costs $6. What is the most popsicle sticks he can make if he buys the cheapest lumber?

How many 2 x 4's can he buy? ** He can buy six 2 x 4's because 24 / 4 = <<24/4=6>>6
How many sticks can he make with 6 2 x 4's? ** He can make 1200 sticks with this wood because 6 x 200 = <<6*200=1200>>1200
How many 2 x 8's can he buy? ** He can buy four 2 x 8's because 24 / 6 = <<24/6=4>>4
How many sticks can he make from 4 2 x 8's? ** He can make 1600 sticks from this because 4 x 400 = <<4*400=1600>>1600
How many sticks can he make if he buys the cheapest lumber? ** He can make 1600 sticks if he buys the cheapest lumber because 1600 > 1200
