Question

If it takes 5 1/4 minutes to make one cut through a log, how long will it take to cut a 5 ft log into 5 equal pieces?

Answer 1

Answer:

How many cuts are needed to cut the log into 5 equal pieces.

Hopefully you figure out that it takes 4 cuts.

Now if it takes 20 minutes in total then each cut would take how long.

Divide the total time by  number of cuts.

So each cut takes 5 minutes.

Now figure out how many cuts are needed to get ten equal pieces and multiply by 5 minutes
