Every minute a meter-long piece is sawed off from the log. In how many minutes will a 6-meter log be cut into such pieces?

6-1 = 5.
Answer: the log will be cut into 6 pieces in 5 minutes.
The number of cuts of a log is always 1 less than the number of pieces obtained. For example, in order to get 2 pieces from one log, you need to make only 1 cut. One cut is made per minute. This means that 5 cuts will be made in 5 minutes.
