Find a counterexample to show that the conjecture is false. Any number that is divisible by 5 is also divisible by 3. A. 45 B. 60 C. 30 D. 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D shows this

OpenStudy (mertsj):

is 25 divisible by 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you kidding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 5 x 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it goes in 5x's

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Is 25 divisible by 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no..

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So if someone says to you, "Any number that is divisible by 5 is also divisible by 3", you can say, "Your conjecture is wrong. Here is a counter example that proves it is false. Twenty-five is divisible by 5 but not by 3/"
