[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder of this is why I did miserably on the math SATs. I can see why either 40 or 45 would be the right answer. [/quote] Explain how 40 could be the right answer?[/quote] Posted up thread, but 2x as long to do 2x as much work. 40 min. Interesting how some people were focused on how many "cuts" while others saw it as production. [/quote] But it's not two times as much work. The work is the cutting. It's four cuts to get five pieces, and nine cuts to get 10 pieces. If the question was about carving something out of existing wood pieces, then it would be twice as much work to do twice as many pieces.[/quote] Well, she did say she did miserably on SAT. [/quote]
