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

How do you cut a cake into 8 equal pieces in 3 cuts?
This is a trick question. Normally if you wanted to cut a cake into 8 equal pieces you would do so with more than 3 cuts. However, it is possible to do it in 3 cuts if you have a sufficiently long knife. By cutting the cake with two perpendicular cuts you can easily get 4 equal pieces. Then you rearrange these 4 pieces so that they are in a line, with all the pointy ends aligned in the same direction. Then you can cut all four pieces in half with one more cut. But it takes a long knife.Answer:Alternately two perpendicular cuts to make 4 equal pieces and a horizontal cut at the middle of the cake to make it into two equal layers each with 4 equal pieces.But if the cake has frosting on top, then the top pieces can't really be exactly equal to the bottom pieces which won't have frosting on top. Nonetheless, it's a good alternative. And not all cakes are frosted.

If it takes 5 minutes to cut across a log how long does it take to cut a 5 foot log into 5 equal parts?
20 minutes. It only takes 4 cuts to make 5 equal-sized pieces.
If it takes 20 minutes to saw a log into 5 equal pieces how long will it take to saw a second log that is the same size as the first into 10 equal pieces at the same rate?
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.

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.
How strong of a man takes 2 minutes to make 1 cut through a log and how long will he need to cut a ten foot log into 4 equals pieces?
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.
