Answer 2

Think of some conditional that is always true. Let's say we come up with this conditional

If it rains, then it is wet outside

Answer 3

That is definitely true. However, the converse is this

If it is wet outside, then it rains

which is false because you could use a hose or something to make the ground wet outside

Answer 4

you take all of this and apply it backwards to get to what the book is asking for here.

Answer 5

if it is a fruit, then it is an apple

if it is an apple, then it is a fruit

you can cookup many examples like this. in most cases, converse of a statement is not true

Answer 6

Oooooh, those are good ones!!
Thanks!!
Would this work?
If it rained, then there is a rainbow. (False)
If there is a rainbow, then it rained. (True)

Answer 7

looks good + gives pleasant feelings :)

Answer 8

but are you sure it has to rain to see a rainbow ?

Answer 9

Yes, because the rain acts as a prism for the light to make the rainbow, right?
