Making sticks

Kimie and Mdu made sticks from strips of card. Kimie made blue sticks 2 squares long and Mdu made red sticks 3 squares long.

Kimie put her blue sticks end to end in a long line. Mdu put his red sticks end to end in a line underneath Kimie’s.

Can they make their lines the same length? How many sticks would Kimie use? How many would Mdu use?

How long is the line altogether?

Can they make any other lines?
