Understanding Even and Odd Numbers
In mathematics, an even number is any integer that is divisible by 2, while an odd number is an integer that is not divisible by 2. Let's evaluate the given options to determine which product results in an even number.
Option A: 3 x 4
- The product of 3 and 4 is 12.
- Since 12 is divisible by 2, it is an even number.
Option B: 5 x 7
- The product of 5 and 7 is 35.
- Since 35 is not divisible by 2, it is an odd number.
Option C: 1 x 3
- The product of 1 and 3 is 3.
- Since 3 is not divisible by 2, it is an odd number.
Option D: 9 x 5
- The product of 9 and 5 is 45.
- Since 45 is not divisible by 2, it is an odd number.
Conclusion
- Among the options provided, only Option A (3 x 4) results in an even number.
- Therefore, the correct answer is indeed Option A.
This evaluation clearly shows the importance of checking divisibility by 2 to identify even numbers among the products given in the options.
