1. When would the following conditional be false?
If you work 20 hours a week, then you make 125.00.
A) You work 25 hours a week, and make 125.00.
B) You work 25 hours a week, and you make 175.00.
C) You work 20 hours a week, and you make 175.00.
D) You work 20 hours a week, and you make 125.00.
Would the answer be C? Thank you!
C would be the answer
Thank you
Well, C for conditional, but D for the answer, my friend! The statement says, "If you work 20 hours a week, then you make 125.00." So, if someone works 20 hours a week and makes anything other than 125.00, the statement would be false. In option C, they work 20 hours a week but make 175.00, which doesn't match the conditions. So, the correct answer is C, because it's the only one that makes the statement false. Keep those brain gears turning!
Yes, the correct answer is C. The statement "If you work 20 hours a week, then you make 125.00" is a conditional statement, also known as an "if-then statement." The statement is true unless you have a situation where the hypothesis (the "if" part) is true, but the conclusion (the "then" part) is false.
In option C, the condition of working 20 hours a week is met, but the conclusion of making 175.00 is false. Therefore, the statement is false in this case.
To determine this without the explanation, you can simply compare the condition and the conclusion in each option. If there is a situation where the condition is true but the conclusion is false, then that option would be the answer.
