2. WRITING TO EXPLAIN
How would making a table help you to find the number of minutes it took Sam to cut the sheet metal into 8 pieces.

-- Cut the sheet in half. 

-- Put one half-sheet on top of the other half-sheet.
Cut the stack of 2 halves in half.

-- Put one stack of two quarter-sheets on top of the other stack of quarter-sheets.
Cut the stack of 4 quarters in half.

Now you have eight one-eighth sheets.

Three cuts.
Taking Sam (3 x 5) = 15 minutes, plus a few seconds for set-up between cuts.
