Let’s solve this step by step.
We need to sort the numbers on the tree into two groups:
-
Odd numbers → color them with the red crayon
-
Even numbers → color them with the green crayon
First, let’s list all the numbers we see on the apples in the tree:
From top to bottom, left to right (as best as we can read):
20, 13, 8,
5, 15, 12,
10, 14, 11,
6, 9,
4, 7,
3, 2, 1
Wait — let me double-check and make sure I didn’t miss any or misread.
Looking again carefully:
Top row: 20, 13, 8
Next: 5, 15, 12
Then: 10, 14, 11
Then: 6, 9
Then: 4, 7
Bottom: 3, 2, 1
That’s 16 numbers total. Let’s write them in a list:
Numbers: 20, 13, 8, 5, 15, 12, 10, 14, 11, 6, 9, 4, 7, 3, 2, 1
Now, let’s go one by one and decide if each is odd or even.
Remember:
- Even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 → divisible by 2
- Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 → not divisible by 2
Let’s check each:
1.
20 → ends in 0 →
even
2.
13 → ends in 3 →
odd
3.
8 → ends in 8 →
even
4.
5 → ends in 5 →
odd
5.
15 → ends in 5 →
odd
6.
12 → ends in 2 →
even
7.
10 → ends in 0 →
even
8.
14 → ends in 4 →
even
9.
11 → ends in 1 →
odd
10.
6 → ends in 6 →
even
11.
9 → ends in 9 →
odd
12.
4 → ends in 4 →
even
13.
7 → ends in 7 →
odd
14.
3 → ends in 3 →
odd
15.
2 → ends in 2 →
even
16.
1 → ends in 1 →
odd
Now, let’s group them:
✔ Odd numbers (color red):
13, 5, 15, 11, 9, 7, 3, 1
✔ Even numbers (color green):
20, 8, 12, 10, 14, 6, 4, 2
Let me count to make sure I have 8 of each.
Odd: 13, 5, 15, 11, 9, 7, 3, 1 → that’s 8 numbers ✔️
Even: 20, 8, 12, 10, 14, 6, 4, 2 → that’s 8 numbers ✔️
Perfect! All 16 numbers are accounted for.
Final Answer:
- Color these numbers RED (odd): 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15
- Color these numbers GREEN (even): 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 20
