The contrapositive of the statement

“If 7 is greater than 5, then 8 is greater than 6” is

In the contrapositive, a conditional statement is logically equivalent to its contrapositive.

Since,


p: 7 is greater than 5


~p: 7 is not greater than 5


q: 8 is greater than 6


~q: 8 is not greater than 6


Therefore,


~p→ ~q = If 8 is not greater than 6, then 7 is not greater than 5.
