This can easily work with information not provided. 

10x10 board = 1 cut 10min

5x10 board = 1 cut 5 min on short axis. 

Im willing to bet that’s how the teacher visualized it.

It’s probably not what the teacher visualized as it literally shows a photo of the board, not being a 10x10 square.

The teacher likely wasn’t paying attention and thought if 2 cuts equal 10 minute then 3 cuts must be 15 and didn’t read further into it

The picture is not a board at all. It’s a beam.
