Short Answer

Expert verified

The conditional statement “If d>eand f>ethen d>f” is false.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Apply the concept of a conditional statement.

Conditional statements are those statements where a hypothesis is followed by a conclusion. It is also called the “If-then" statement.

02

Step 2. Simplify the statement.

Consider the statement d>eand f>e.

Here d and fboth the greater than e.

03

Step 3. Step description.

Since d and f both the greater than e but that does not implies that d will be greater than f.

Thus, the statement is not always true.

Therefore, the conditional statement “if d>eandf>e then d>f” is false.
