The product of two even numbers is even.
Let m and n be any integers so that 2m and 2k are two even numbers.
The product is 2m(2k) = 2(2mk), which is even.
Things to think about:
Why didn’t I just show you by using any two even numbers like the number 4 and the number 26?
Why did I change from "m" to "k" ? Are they really different numbers or could they be the same?
Why did I specifically say that m and k were integers?
The product of two odd numbers is an odd number.
Let m and k be any integers. This means that 2m+1 and 2k+1 are odd numbers.
The product is 4mk + 2m + 2k + 1 (hint: I used FOIL) which can be written as
2 ( 2mk + m + k ) + 1 which is an odd number.
1. 81 1/2 = 163/2
2. 32 1/5 - 64 1/3 =
483/15 - 965/15 =
-482/15 or -32 2/15
3. 16 1/4 = 65/4
4. 49 1/2 + 27 1/3 =
99/2 + 82/3 =
297/6 + 164/6 =
461/6 or 76 5/6
Same here, we do a quick switcharoo on the variables first,
