Cuts and piecesLesson 185 of the lessons course of Mova's primary school: 3 sentences, each with its syntax tree and pragmatics. The lessons are written for Mova, and their agreed trees are part of Mova corpus 0.4 (CC BY-SA 4.0).0Cutting a log or a ribbon into pieces always takes one cut fewer than the number of pieces: the last piece needs no cut.1A log of 24 dm cut into pieces of 4 dm gives 24 ÷ 4 = 6 pieces, which takes 6 - 1 = 5 cuts.2If each cut takes 3 minutes, the work takes 5 × 3 = 15 minutes, not 6 × 3.← previousTwo-digit numbers with a given digit sumnext →Balancing the scales↑ back to LessonsThis page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/185-cuts-and-pieces/
