Do you say, "Nine and five is thirteen," or "Nine and five are thirteen" ?
Common Wrong Answers
“Nine and five is thirteen”
This guess is incorrect because the mathematical addition of nine and five equals fourteen, not thirteen.
“Nine and five are thirteen”
This guess is also incorrect for the same reason; it incorrectly states that nine and five equal thirteen, when they actually equal fourteen.
“Nine and five are fifteen”
This guess is wrong because it miscalculates the sum of nine and five, which is fourteen, not fifteen.
