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 many pieces can you get with 4 cuts?
I think you can make 12 pieces at most
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.
The maximum of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making six cuts?
If you want an even-sized pieces, you can make a 7-slice pizza. Otherwise, the maximum is 22. (.5x^2 + .5x + 1 is the formula to determine the maximum number of slices if you use "x" cuts.)

If it costs 3.20 to make one cut on a log how much would it cost to cuta log into 4 pieces?
A log would need three cuts to make four pieces. Here are 4 pieces. The "." represents each of the cuts. =.=.=.= So, 3 cuts at 3.20 per cut is 9.60 3 x 3.20 = 9.60
