Video Summary

Maya cuts the rope using the marks made by Dan and Muhammad. Dan's plan results in 11 marks, and Muhammad's results in 15 marks, totaling 26 marks. However, they share common marks every one-fourth of the rope, which occur three times due to the greatest common factor of 12 and 16 being 4. These overlapping marks mean Maya only makes 23 cuts. Since the number of pieces is one more than the number of cuts, Maya will end up with 24 pieces of rope.
