How many pieces of pie can you make with 10 cuts?

With 10 straight cuts, you can create a maximum of 56 pieces of pie. This is based on the formula for the maximum number of pieces ( P(n) = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} + 1 ), where ( n ) is the number of cuts. For 10 cuts, substituting into the formula gives ( P(10) = \frac{10 \times 11}{2} + 1 = 56 ).


How do you you cut a cake into 12 pieces?

Well, honey, cutting a cake into 12 pieces is as easy as pie. Just make two cuts to create four equal pieces, then make three more cuts perpendicular to those to create a total of 12 slices. It's not rocket science, just grab a knife and get slicing!

How do you cut a cake into 16 pieces using 5 cuts?

Cut a round cake in eight equal sized wedge shaped pieces with four vertical cuts, then make one horizontal cut through the center of the cake to equal sixteen pieces.It's slightly more tricky if you are only allowed to cut the horizontal cross-section of the cake (treat the cake as a circle). In this case, first divide the cake with one cut (2 pieces), then cut it again so that it intersects the first cut (4 pieces), then cut it a third time so that it intersects both cuts previously made, at different points (7 pieces), then let the fourth cut intersect all three cuts so far at different points (11 pieces), and let the fifth and final cut intersect all four cuts at different points (16 pieces total).


How can you cut a doughnut into eight equal pieces with only three cuts of a knife?

To cut a doughnut into eight equal pieces with three cuts, start by making the first cut horizontally through the center, which will create two equal halves. Next, make a vertical cut down the center, intersecting the first cut, resulting in four equal quarters. Finally, make a third cut horizontally again, but this time through the middle of the doughnut's height, which will divide each of the four quarters into two equal pieces, yielding a total of eight equal pieces.

What is the least number of cuts required to cut a cube into 504 identical pieces?

To cut a cube into 504 identical pieces, you would need to make 503 cuts. Each cut divides the cube into two pieces, so the first cut creates 2 pieces, the second cut creates 4 pieces, the third cut creates 8 pieces, and so on. Therefore, to reach 504 pieces, you would need to make 503 cuts.

How can you cut a pizza into 29 pieces with 7 straight cuts?

Cut a pizza into 2 using one straight cut. Stack the pieces and make a straight cut: you now have 22 = 4 pieces from 2 cuts. Stack these and make a straight cut: you now have 23 = 8 pieces from 3 cuts. Continue. After 7 cuts you can have 27 = 128 pieces. You can reduce the number of pieces to 29 if, after the fourth cut, you stack and cut only 11 pieces and thereafter cut just one each time. There are other options which give the same result.


If it costs 3.20 to make one cut on a log how much would it cost to cuta log into 4 pieces?

How can you make a pizza with 8 slices when you only draw 3 lines?

Each cut("line") increases the number of slices by a multiple of 2 (provided that each cut crosses the center of the pizza). So, 1 cut would make 2 pieces, 2 cuts would make 4 pieces and 3 cuts would make 8 pieces
