Two even integers and one odd integer are multiplied together. Which of the following could be their product?

1. 3.75

2. 9

3. 16.2

4. 24

The correct answer is: 24

When multiplying two even integers and one odd integer, the product will always be an even integer. This is because the product of any even integer with any other integer (whether even or odd) will always yield an even result. Let's analyze what happens with the potential products mentioned. The first option, 3.75, is a decimal and not an integer, hence cannot be the product of any integers. The second option, 9, is an odd integer. The product of two even integers with one odd integer cannot yield an odd result, therefore this cannot be a valid product. The third option, 16.2, is also a decimal and not an integer, disqualifying it as a valid product as well. The last choice, 24, is an even integer, which aligns perfectly with the necessary criteria for the product of two even integers and one odd integer. Thus, the only product that fits these requirements is 24.
