Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional.

The hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement are where the hypothesis is the phrase immediately following by the word if and the conclusion is the phrase immediately following by the word then.

02

Step 2. Converse a conditional.

The converse of the conditional is obtained by interchanging the hypothesis and the conclusion. If p represents the hypothesis and q represents the conclusion, then converse of the statement “If p, then q” will be “If q, then p”.

Step 3. Write the converse of the statement.

If today is Friday, then tomorrow is Saturday.

The day after Friday is Saturday.

Therefore, the statement is true.

Consider p is "today is Friday" and q is "tomorrow is Saturday"

The converse is of the form "if q, then p”.

Therefore, the converse of the given statement is;

If tomorrow is Saturday, then today is Friday

04

Step 4. Verify the converse of the statement.

It is known that the day before Saturday is Friday

Therefore, the converse of the given statement is true.
