Question
- is this an odd or even number of shoes? (hint: find all the pairs. are there any objects left over?) both none of these even
Step1: Count the number of shoes
There are 7 shoes.
Step2: Check for pairs
Pair the shoes up. After making 3 pairs, 1 shoe is left over.
Step3: Determine odd - even
Since there is a left - over shoe when paired, the number is odd. But since the options don't have 'Odd', we note that an even number of shoes can be paired without any left - over. And if we consider the concept in terms of the nature of the number when paired, we know that 7 is an odd number and not an even number. Since we are looking for the correct classification among the given options, we see that the number is not even.
