d) even, even, odd, odd

Answer 1

The numbers 443, 450, 457, and 464 are sequentially odd, even, odd, and even as each number is either divisible by 2 without a remainder (even) or not (odd).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves determining whether the given numbers are odd or even. An even number is any integer that can be exactly divided by 2 with no remainder, whereas an odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2.

• 443 is odd because 443 ÷ 2 = 221 with a remainder of 1.
• 450 is even because 450 ÷ 2 = 225 with no remainder.
• 457 is odd because 457 ÷ 2 = 228 with a remainder of 1.
• 464 is even because 464 ÷ 2 = 232 with no remainder.

Therefore, the correct sequence for the numbers 443, 450, 457, 464 in terms of odd and even is odd, even, odd, even.
