- Discrete Matharrow_forwardIn a 36-minute gym period, 24 boys want to play basketball. If only 10 can play at the same time, and each boy plays the same amount of time, how many minutes does each boy play?arrow_forwardA 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…arrow_forward
