Answer:
Jim has an even number of items [or more specifically four fruits].
Step-by-step explanation:
First: Ask yourself the question: what is even?
An even number is 2 and every multiple of 2. So, every <em>other</em> number is not an even number; they're odd.
That makes things easier, right?
Second: Evaluate who has an even number of items:
Sue has 3 apples. So she has 3 items. Is three a multiple of 2?
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
<em>Three is not listed in this list so it's not a even number. It would have appeared between two and four. So, three is odd</em>.
Jim has 4 oranges. So he has 4 items. Is four a multiple of 2?
2: 2, <u>4</u>, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
4 is a multiple of 2. So it is an even number. So Jim has an even number of items [or fruits].
Thanks
