Question

given the statement \if jacks pet is a pig, then jacks pet cannot fly,\ which statement represents the converse? q → p, where p = jacks pet is a pig and q = jacks pet cannot fly q → p, where p = jacks pet is not a pig and q = jacks pet is a pig p → q, where p = jacks pet is a pig and q = jacks pet cannot fly ~q →~p, where p = jacks pet cannot fly and q = jacks pet is a pig

Explanation:

In logic, for a conditional statement "if p then q", the converse is "if q then p". Here, the original statement is "if Jack's pet is a pig (p), then Jack's pet cannot fly (q)". So the converse is "if Jack's pet cannot fly (q), then Jack's pet is a pig (p), which is represented as $q
ightarrow p$ where $p =$ Jack's pet is a pig and $q =$ Jack's pet cannot fly.

Answer:

A. $q
ightarrow p$, where $p =$ Jack's pet is a pig and $q =$ Jack's pet cannot fly
