The following question was asked on a math test:

If 6 cats kill 6 rats in 6 minutes, how many will be needed to kill 100 rats in 50 minutes?

Ryan answered 12, Stefanie said 13, and Tom put down 14 for his answer. After looking at their work, the teacher decided to give all three students credit.

What were the arguments that each student made?

I believe Penny is absolutely correct.
Sorry Dan but domestic cats rarely kill for food, it's usually for fun.
