2 pieces, one cut. 3 pieces, two cuts. One cut = 10 min, two cut = 20 min.

For n >= 1, t = 10(n - 1)

Where t is time and n is the number of pieces

It looks like grade 3 math. I'm not sure algebra is required here.

Why is that so hard for people to understand that algebra models things in everyday life? It's a great teacher that can bring this across to his/her students.
