Question

Please help me! Im beyond confused :/

Given the three statements below, draw a conclusion. If you had to use the contrapositive, please tell which statement needed to be switched. If no conclusion can be drawn, please state “no conclusion:

1. If you do you not live in the woods, you are not a magical fairy.

2. If you do not have a chipmunk as a pet, then you prefer to live in the city.

3. If your pet is a chipmunk, then you are a magical fairy.

Answer 1

Please Guys! Any help would be appreciated :)

Answer 2

Combining 1 and 3, you get
If you do not live in the woods, then your pet is not a chipmunk.
Now combine this with 2 to get your conclusion.

Answer 3

@ospreytriple So then it would be....
If you do not have a chipmunk as a pet, then your pet is not a chipmunk.
Or would it be....
If you do not live in the woods, then you prefer to live in the city?

Answer 4

I like the second one! Well done!

Answer 6
