Yes, you would get an even number.

I'll use an example to tell you why you get an even number. Let's use 7 times 4. Let's say I set out 4 groups of 7 blocks. The first 6 blocks in each set would be an even number of blocks, so we can set those to the side since we already know they make an even number. This leaves us with one block per group left (the odd block). If we combine all the "odd" blocks, we would have four. These four blocks would make 2 sets of 2 blocks, thus giving us an even number of blocks.

In other words, an odd number times an even number is even because the item that makes a number odd would match with an item that is making another number odd, thus those two "odds" match up to make an even number.
