Algebra Level 2

I have a huge bed-sheet of 1 meter long.
I want to cut this roll into pieces of 2 centimeter long cloth.

If each cut took me 5 minutes, and each cut can only cut through 1 layer of cloth, how long will it take me to cut the bed sheet?

250 minutes 500 minutes 245 minutes 100 minutes

It will take 49 cuts not 50. so 49*5 = 245 minutes

1m=100cm 100cm/20cm=5 But -1 cut 4 cuts

Jup I thought the same. Was expecting 20 mins to be an answer. But apparently it's not 1 meter but 10 meter.
