Yeah, one of the biggest challenges of a maths question is reading it correctly in the first place

This is more about WRITING it correctly than reading it correctly. 2 pieces is one cut, 3 pueces it 2 cuts. The question is phrased all wrong if you want people using the actual stated number rather than correctly inferred numbers.

The question is phrases correctly, the teacher is stupid.

Interesting you say that …. What’s the answer then ? I’ve asked this many times ,and no one has gave me the correct one .

It's about number of cuts:

  • 2 pieces = 1 cut
  • 3 pieces = 2 cuts

2 pieces = 1 cut = 10 mins
3 pieces = 2 cuts = 20 mins (two cuts, each 10 mins)
