A cat eats 2626 cup of food on Wednesday and 1313 cup of food on Thursday.  The cat's owner tells the veterinarian the cat ate a total of 1 cup of food on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Which statement is true?

 
 
Responses
  • The cat's owner is correct because 26<1226<12 and 13<1213<12 , so the sum of 2626 and 1313 is equal to 1.
    The cat's owner is correct because 26<1226<12 and 13<1213<12 , so the sum of 2 sixths and 1 third is equal to 1.
  • The cat's owner is correct because 26=1226=12 and 13=1213=12 , so the sum of 2626 and 1313 is equal to 1.
    The cat's owner is correct because 2 sixths is equal to 1 half and 1 third is equal to 1 half , so the sum of 2 sixths and 1 third is equal to 1.
  • The cat's owner is incorrect because 26>1226>12 and 13>1213>12 , so the sum of 2626 and 1212 is greater than 1.
    The cat's owner is incorrect because 2 sixths is greater than 1 half and 1 third is greater than 1 half , so the sum of 2 sixths and 1 half is greater than 1.
  • The cat's owner is incorrect because 26<1226<12 and 13<1213<12 , so the sum of 2626 and 1313 is less than 1.
    The cat's owner is incorrect because 26<1226<12 and 13<1213<12 , so the sum of 2 sixths and 1 third is less than 1.
