3. Find a pair of numbers to show that the given statement is false.

“If the sum of two counting numbers is an even counting number, then the
product of the two counting numbers is an even counting number.”

- 2 and 3

4. Find a pair of numbers to show that the given statement is false.

“If the product of two counting numbers is an evencounting number, then both
of the counting numbers are even counting numbers.”

- false (Factorization)

5. Use deductive reasoning to give the result of the given procedure:

Pick a number. Multiply the number by 6 and add 8. Divide the sum by 2,
subtract twice the original number, and subtract 4.

-M=1

C.

1. What is the 𝑛th- term formula for the figure below?

- Arithmeric

2. The bacteria in a petri dish grow in a manner such that each day the number
of bacteria doubles. On what day will the number of bacteria be half of the
number present on the 12th day?

-The 11th day

3.The number of ducks and pigs in a field total 35. The total number of legs
among them is 98. Assuming each duck has exactly two legs and each pig has
exactly four legs, determine how many ducks and how many pigs are in the
field?

-Let ducks are X and pig are YATQ. X+Y=35 (equa. 1)And 2X + 4Y =98 (equa.
2)Solving both equations we get X= 21 and Y=14

4. A room measures 12 feet by 15 feet. How many 3-foot by 3-foot squares of
