Jermaine, there is no way the math comes out correctly with the teachers logic. It still took 10 minutes to cut A BOARD into 2 pieces, meaning it would take her another 10 minutes to cut 1 more board. If it said, "It took Marie 10 minutes to cut 2 boards, at the same rate of cutting how long would it take Marie to cut a 3rd board" then the answer would be 5 minutes per board.
#16 should be 20 minutes. Cutting a board into 2 pieces means cutting it ONCE. So, that would mean each cut would take 10 minutes. I am drunk, however, and I've been known to be wrong while drunk…
In # 16 the teacher confused "number of pieces" with "number of cuts". The incorrect logic of the teacher is that if it took 10 min to produce 2 pieces then it would take 10 min + (.5*10 min) to produce 3 pieces. The faulty logic was when it took 10 min to produce 2 pieces that it must have taken 5 minutes per piece. Clearly the teacher didn't think the problem or question through.

Sadly I doesn't live in Minneapolis, otherwise Mr. Wanket would have a new client.
@ #16… Those that can't do… Well, you get it…
