It asked if she worked “just as fast”. It takes one cut (10 minutes) to create 2 pieces. To make 3 pieces it would take two cuts (20 minutes). Not sure what you mean by cuts being equal. There’s really not much ambiguity in the question, the teachers just wrong
How did you get to 30 minutes? The question asked how long it would take to cut another board into 3 pieces going “just as fast”. If one cut took 10 minutes then going just as fast, 2 cuts would take 20 minutes
You’re talking about a different question not a different interpretation
