4 pieces took 3 cuts.5 pieces will take 4 cuts.4 cuts requires (4/3) as much time as 3 cuts took= (4/3) x 12 = 16 seconds.
Assuming the pieces are not rearranged so that more than one piece is cut at a time, then: 5 pieces requires cuts, so each cut takes 20 minutes/4 each. 10 pieces require 9 cuts, therefore they will take 20/4 × 9 minutes = 45 minutes.

5 (unless you cut lengthwise).
To cut a 5-foot log into 5 equal pieces, you would need to make 4 cuts to create 5 equal sections. If it takes 5 minutes to make one cut across the log, you would need a total of 4 cuts, so it would take 20 minutes to cut the 5-foot log into five equal pieces.
Yes, all you do is put them together and then the surrounding pieces will make the other side!
The largest number of pieces is 10. Each time you cut it across you divide the pizza into 2. dividing it by 2, 5 times gives us 10.
For five (5) rabbits to share four (4) carrots equally you must divide each carrot into 10 pieces. 4 carrots times 10 cuts is 40 pieces. 40 pieces divided by 5 rabbits is 8 pieces per rabbit.
Well, isn't that a fun little puzzle! To cut a ball into 9 pieces with just 3 cuts, you can start by making two perpendicular cuts to divide the ball into quarters. Then, you can make a third cut horizontally through the middle of the ball. This will give you 9 equal pieces, each with a slice of the ball. It's all about seeing things from different angles and finding creative solutions!
1. Cut it in half - there are 2 halves. 2. Cut one of these in half - there are two quarter and one half. 3. Cut the other in half - there are four quarters. 4. Stack them and cut in half - there are eight eighths. 5. Stack them and cut in half - there are sixteen pieces. Cuts 2 and 3 could have been combined, by stacking, to do it all in 4 cuts.
The cube root of 125 is 5 -- that is 5*5*5 = 125
9 cube !
