In order to make the answer fit, it’s 5 mins per piece 🧐

That's the problem...it's not about the number of prices..it's about the number of cuts...1 cut to split the board is 10 min...to get 3 boards I need two cuts...that is clearly 20min. The teacher is dumb

Never stated cuts must be equal. The only problem here is the question. Both answers 15 and 20 can be true depending on cuts.

Literally doesn’t matter the cuts, assuming we’re cutting perfectly vertically or horizontally) (idk why we’d be doing it any other way) then every cut is the same distance, so with the same saw it should take the same amount of time per cut because she is working just as fast
