Bryan has 3/4 gallon of paint in one container and 1/2 gallon of paint in another container. Bryan states that he has 4/6 gallon of paint all together. Which two statements are true?

(A) Since 3/4 plus 1/2 equals 4/6, then 4/6 is reasonable.

(B) Since 4/6 is greater than 1/2, then 4/6 is a reasonable total.

(C) Since 1/2 and 3/4 are both either equal to or greater than 1/2, the total must be equal or greater than 1. So, 4/6 is not a reasonable answer.

(D) 3/4 and 1/2 are both less than 1. So, 4/6 is a reasonable answer.

(E) Since 1/2 equals 2/4 , the sum is the same as 3/4 + 2/4 which is 5/4. This is greater than 1, so 4/6 is not a reasonable answer.
