Answer:
D. A solid
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 9900000000 (thats 8 zeros) What you do is you find 10^10 which is 10000000000 (ten zeros) and multiply that by 7.92 to get 79200000000 then you just multiply it by 1/8 to get the answer.
This is actually a trick question if you were to take this question head on. Say for instance you are cutting all the pieces from the same sheet of metal, the equation would NOT be 8 times 5 equals 40 minutes, but rather 7 times 5 equals 35 minutes. this is because on the 7th cut, it takes that from 6 sheets of metal to 8 because you get 2 from that cut. Take for instence, a Hersheys candy bar. It is 3 bars thick, but it only takes 2 breaks to sever the 3 strips. So, that being said, sam will make 7 cuts and those 7 cuts will make a times of 35 minutes.
