Sue has 3 apples. jim has
4 oranges. which child has an
even number of items?

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 other 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

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.

Jim has 4 oranges. So he has 4 items. Is four a multiple of 2?

2: 2, 4, 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
