Best Answer

It is not possible to add up an even and uneven number to attain ten, or any other even number.

Consider the following a proof:

a is a even number

b is a uneven number, this means that (b-1) is a even number.

a+b = a + (b-1) + 1

2 even numbers added up always result in an even number. And each time, 1 gets added to that sum, netting a uneven number.

Distribute ten marbles in three plastic cups so that every cup contains an odd number of marbles you must use all ten marbles?

I don't see how this can be done, because when any two odd numbers are added together, the sum is even. If the first two cups each have an odd number the remainder will be 10 - (an even number). Any even number - an even number will equal an even number. Therefore this is not possible.

How can you tell if a number is even without dividing by 2?

Just look at the last digit. If it's even, then the number is even. If it's odd, then the number is odd. (The other digits tell you how many tens, hundreds, etc. Ten, or a multiple of ten - like seventy or eighty - is always even. Same goes for hundreds, thousands, etc.)

There are no numbers between 108 and 120 that have an even ten's digit. If you call 'zero' an even number, then ' 109 ' would qualify. But the whole exercise is still not too satisfying.
