If three cats kill three rats in three minutes then how many minutes will 100 cats take to kill 100 rats?
It would still take 3 minutes according to the setup of the question, assuming there are enough rats to make this work. It takes 1 cat 3 minutes to find a rat, and 3 minutes for 3 cats to each find a rat. So 100 cats would only take 3 minutes to find 100 rats. Time is irrelevant since the only factors changing are the cats and the rats. However, this question assumes too many things that would likely not happen. The question assumes an even density of rats, that the cat's are equally able to catch rats, and that there are enough rats.
Cutting a 10 foot plank into 10 equal sections if it takes 1 minute per cut how long will it take him to get the 10 equal pieces?
NOTE: The problem asks to cut the board into 10 equal parts, not into equal boards proportional to the original piece of wood. Case 1: CANNOT stack wood on top of each other. Assume the board 5 feet by 2 feet. If you made one horizontal cut in the center of the board 1 foot from each edge, and then made four vertical cuts at 1 foot apart, you would then have 10 equal pieces at 1' by 1' each. Time taken: 5 minutes for 5 cuts. Case 2: CAN stack wood on top of each other. The board is 5 feet by 2 feet. Cut the board long way 1 foot from the middle and the result is 2 boards 5 feet by 1 foot. Stack these two boards on top of each other. Then, cut the stack vertically one foot from the end now making 2 pieces of wood 1' by 1' and 2 pieces of wood 4' by 1'. Then, take the 2 pieces of wood 4' by 1' and stack them on top of each other. Cut vertically once in half, so you now result in 4 boards 2' by 1'. Finally, stack these 4 pieces of wood on top of each other. Cut once vertically and you now have 8 pieces of wood 1' by 1' (plus the 2 from earlier which now make 10). Time taken: 4 minutes for 4 cuts.

If it takes 20 minutes to saw a log into 5 equal pieces how long will it take to saw a second log that is the same size as the first into 10 equal pieces at the same rate?
Assuming the pieces are not rearranged so that more than one piece is cut at a time, then: 5 pieces requires cuts, so each cut takes 20 minutes/4 each. 10 pieces require 9 cuts, therefore they will take 20/4 × 9 minutes = 45 minutes.
