That would be fine, weecalf, except for the fact that it then says:
"2/3 are even" and "The numbers are 6, 7, 8, 8, 10+12."
yeah the 2/3 of the total are even numbered .even is the word here as in even though there are 3 nines the rest are 6,7. ,8,8 10 why the plus sign 12
Q what are the other three numbers? A two odd and one even. Simples:)

To be honest, it was strange situation. I was teaching a 12 yr old girl, maths. using a book(impact maths) just a 1 hour private class weekly. but her teacher would on occasion give her stuff off the internet, without informing me, this was 1 of those occasions. when i asked the teacher the answer, he just agreed with muffinbear.
