Solution

Step 1: Determine the number of cuts the plumber can make in 24 minutes. Since he can make 45 cuts per minute, in 24 minutes he can make 45 cuts/minute * 24 minutes = 1080 cuts.

Step 2: Determine the number of pieces of pipe he can cut from these cuts. Since each piece of pipe requires 10 cuts, the number of pieces he can cut is 1080 cuts / 10 cuts/piece = 108 pieces.

So, the answer is C108.
