If it takes 2 minutes to make one cut through a log how long will it take to cut a 10 ft long into 4 equal pieces?
6 minutes 4 pieces = 3 cuts x 2 minutes each = 6 minutes
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 split a orange into 5 equal pieces an share it among 3 people and they all have equal pieces?
1 2/3
2 meters are how many equal pieces?
It really depends how long you make the pieces. You are better off in keeping the pieces multiples of 5 or 10 so you can maximise the amount of equal pieces
How can you cut a cake into 7 equal pieces making only 3 straight cuts?
1) One vertical cut in half.2) A second vertical cut at 90 degrees to the previous one. You should now have 4 equal pieces.3) Make a cut parallel to the table, halfway through the cake. Like you are slicing a bagel in half or a subway sandwich. Should now have 8 equal pieces.4) Eat one piece!
How do you cut a square into 12 pieces?
2 horizontal cuts and 3 vertical cuts OR 3 horizontal cuts and 2 vertical cuts
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
What imaginary line cuts the earth into 2 equal parts?
The imaginary line that cuts the earth into two equal parts is called the equator. It is an imaginary circle around the Earth that is equidistant from the North and South poles. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
How can you cut a round cake into 8 equal slices using only 3 cuts?
Takes the CakeHere are the steps involved:Cut from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock (this give you 2 pieces).Cut from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (this give you 4 pieces).Cut the cake in half horizontally, slicing through all the pieces. Imagine that you were cutting through the whole cake to put icing in the middle (this give you 8 pieces).
What are the maximum number of identical pieces obtained when a cube is cut by 15 cuts?
When a cube is cut by 15 cuts, it can produce a maximum of 27 identical pieces. Each cut can create at most 2 identical pieces, so with 15 cuts, you can get 2 x 15 = 30 pieces. However, 3 of these pieces will be removed as they are the corners of the cube, leaving you with 30 - 3 = 27 identical pieces.
If it takes 2 minutes to make one cut through a log how long will it take to cut a 10 ft long into 4 equal pieces?
6 minutes 4 pieces = 3 cuts x 2 minutes each = 6 minutes
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.
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.
What is a line that cuts 2 or more parallel?
a transversal

Is 2 a bigger denominator than 4?
yes. 1/2 is bigger than 1/4 because if you got 2 pizzas of the same size and cut one in 2 equal pieces and you cut the other in 4 equal pieces, the pizza with 2 equal pieces would have larger pieces than the pizza with 4 equal pieces. do you understand? i hope i helped. ☺
How can you cut a rectangular cake into 8 equal parts with only 3 cuts?
-- Adjust the direction of the knife so that it's parallel to the length of the cake,and cut (1) the cake down the middle ... 2 equal pieces.-- Turn the knife 90 degrees so that it's parallel to the width of the cake,and cut (2) the cake down the middle ... 4 equal pieces.-- Stack the 4 equal pieces in an even stack, so that their edges all line up.Cut (3) the stack in two equal pieces, either length-wise, width-wise, oralong either diagonal ... 8 equal pieces.Alternate method for any one of the cuts described above, (1) or (2) or (3):-- Turn the knife so that the blade is parallel to the cake-board and half ofthe height of the cake above the board. Slice through the height of the cake,keeping the knife parallel to the cake's bottom surface, to its top surface andto the cake-board, cutting the whole cake into an upper layer and a lower layerof equal thickness.
