<human>:  Alissa used discarded paper to make notepads for her friends. She would fold 5 pieces of letter-size paper 3 times then cut along the edges to form smaller note papers. She would then stack these smaller note papers and staple them together. How long would 1 notepad last if someone wrote 10 notes per day?
<bot>: How many pieces of note-size paper are made from each letter-size paper? ** Alissa folding it 3 times makes 2 × 2 × 2 = <<2*2*2=8>>8 pieces of note-size paper per letter-size paper.
How many pieces of note-size paper are made from each letter-size paper? ** So 5 pieces of letter-size paper make 5 × 8 = <<5*8=40>>40 pieces of note-size paper.
How long would 1 notepad last if someone wrote 10 notes per day? ** 1 note pad would last 40 ÷ 10 = <<40/10=4>>4 days if someone wrote 10 notes a day.
