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.
nine minutes
Five times as many minutes as it takes her to cut it into two pieces. That's cutting time only, not counting rest breaks.

seconds But as I get older it may become minutes.
The criteria given is vague. If we're talking about an existing piece of wood that we're cutting into ten pieces then it would take nine minutes, as the last piece would not require cutting! However, if we're talking about cutting ten pieces of wood off a bigger piece of wood, then it would take ten minutes.
20 minutes. It only takes 4 cuts to make 5 equal-sized pieces.
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.
6 minutes 4 pieces = 3 cuts x 2 minutes each = 6 minutes

Rte. 195 cuts straight across from Trenton to the ocean. That takes about 45 minutes.
Well giga = 1000 mega. So I would say 100 seconds? Simple math?
45 minutes. He only has to make 9 cuts.
6 minutes
That depends on if the dullness starts to increase cutting time. You need to make 35 cuts to make 36 pieces, so assuming each cut takes three minutes and barring any breaks, 105 minutes, or 1 hr. 45 min.
Before we deal with the question of how strong he has to be, let's find outwhat the job involves.In order to cut one log into 4 pieces, he has to make 3 cuts. It doesn't makeany difference how long the original log is, or whether the pieces are equal ...Three cuts.One cut takes him 2 minutes. IF HE CAN keep going at that rate, 3 cuts willtake him 6 minutes.The strength he needs is whatever it takes to keep sawing for 6 minutes. If he'snot that strong, then the job takes longer, because he has to stop and rest.So his ability to finish the job doesn't depend on how strong the man is.But the length of time it will take him does. If he can hoist the saw andmake one complete cut in 2 minutes, but then he needs to rest for a week,then he would need more than 6 minutes to finish the job.
