How can i tell if a fraction is either even or odd?

like for instance if the question is

3/4

1 1/2

and also is

4i even or odd

thanks so so much

Answer 1

An even number can be divided into groups of two.2 is even, you have 2 groups of one 1+1=2. 4 is even, 2+2=4. An odd number can be divided, but not equally.

So can you divide 3/4 into 2 equal parts? Or 1 1/2....it may help to convert 11/2 into an improper fractions. Or into decimals so that you can look at it a different way.

I won't give you the answer because the only way you will learn is to do it yourself.

Answer 2

I don't think fractions can be odd or even, only whole numbers.

If it can, then I'd say both odd since one is .75 and the other is 1.5.

Yes, anything with an i is imaginary and I don't think they can be even or odd either.

Answer 3

4i is even, because...well replace ANY NUMBER for i. I like 3 since it's easy and it works! XD

4 x 3 = 12 that's even

Now that was an odd number... try some even numbers? Like 2.

4 x 2 = 8 that's even

and it works for every single number multiplied with 4. It turns out even so 4i is even. =)

For 3-5i, you'll just simplify it to -2. Now since 2's an even number, that'd be like 4i and will always result in evens.

Fractions aren't even or odd numbers cause they are not whole numbers and their inverses. Trust me. =D
