    Time=number of cuts times time it takes to make each cut

    to cut something into 2 pieces, you need 1 cut

    to cut into 3 pieces you need 2 cuts

    therefor, to cut something into n pieces, it takes n-1 cuts

    so 8piece is 8-1=7 cuts

    time=number of cust times time per cut

    time=7 times 5 minutes

    times=35 minutes

    You have to multiply the eight pieces by 5 because it takes him five minutes to cut one piece of metal
