Answer:

12

Explanation:

Suppose i want a 2 digit number and i specifically want it to be even okay, and it can only contain the numbers, 245 and 8 point well in order for it to be even the end would have to be 248 right. An even number. The last digit is divisible by 2 or it even so, there's 3 possibilities here. My question is: can my numbers repeat there's nothing that says my numbers can't repeat so: im gonna some they can so i could use 2 twice, 4 twice and so on and so for, but i can only use 5 once and there's 5 other possibilities here. So 4 possibilities for the first digit 3 possibilities for the second. I'M gonna multiply these together: 4 times 3 there's a total of 122 digit numbers.
