Answer 1

lol..

Answer 2

The converse means you need to take the second half of the original sentence first as the "if....", then put in the first half as the new second half.

Like:

If it's sunny, I am happy.

Converse: If I am happy, it is sunny.

Answer 3

so then it would be B right?

Answer 4

right :) Good work :)

Answer 5

thanks:)

Answer 6

btw, B is right... that is the converse, but the converse may not be actually true.

Answer 7

so b isnt the answer then?

Answer 8

no, sorry to be confusing.

b is definitely right.

Answer 9

oh lol okay hah, so basicall conver means opposite right?

Answer 10

What I meant is that a converse may be a lie.

If it's sunny, I am happy.

If I am happy, it is sunny.... <<<---- might be false, don't you think?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

Converse is the original statement, turned around.

Answer 13

Here's a quick set of notes:

when they say "p" and "q", it's just short for saying some phrase, like p might be "I am happy" and q might be "it is sunny"

statement: if p then q
converse: if q then p
inverse: if not p then not q
contrapositive: if not q then not p

Answer 14

So, don't get confused between converse and inverse.

Converse is reversing the order.

Inverse means taking the original statement in the same order and changing it to say "If NOT...... then NOT...."

Answer 15

so what about this one?

if p--->q and q--->r are true statments, then p---> r

a. true
b. false


it would be true right?

Answer 16

This is a different type of question, but you are correct.
