1 medal and fan question Read the following two statements. Then use the Law of Syllogism to draw a conclusion. If a number is a multiple of 64, then it is a multiple of 8. If a number is a multiple of 8, then it is a multiple of 2. If a number is not a multiple of 2, then the number is not a multiple of 64. The number is a multiple of 2. If a number is a multiple of 64, then it is a multiple of 2. The number is a multiple of 8.
This is the pattern of: p-->q p ---- Therefore, q.
so its between B AND D
number is a multiple of 64 implies that it is a multiple of 8. number is a multiple of 8 implies multiple of 2 --------------------------------- Therefore, what?
D
I HAVE KNOW CLUE
This is all we are given: If a number is a multiple of 64, then it is a multiple of 8. If a number is a multiple of 8, then it is a multiple of 2. We are not given any particular number. Putting the two implications together, then being a multiple of 64 means being a multiple of 8 AND being a multiple of 8 means being a multiple of 2. So, If a number is a multiple of 64, then the number is a multiple of what?
8
Would it not be this: If a number is a multiple of 64, then it is a multiple of 2.
I MEANT 2
THANKS
Alrighty, then.
