You go to the gym for an hour a week and lose 10 pounds in a month
You go to the gym for an hour a week and lose 17 pounds in a month
You go to the gym for an hour a week and lose 7 pounds in a month
You go to the gym for an hour a week and lose 50 pounds in a month

Respuesta :

We must see which thing would make the conditional statement a false statement. We will see that the correct option is:

"You go to the gym for an hour a week and lose 7 pounds in a month"

So we start with the conditional statement:

"If you go to the gym for an hour a week, then you will lose at least 10 pounds in a month"

Remember that the general conditional statement is:

  • If P, then Q.

Where P is the hypothesis and Q is the conclusion.

The conditional statement is false if:

P is true and Q false.

So the given statement is only false if you meet the hypothesis (you go to the gym for an hour a week) but not the conclusion (you lose less than 10 pounds in a month).

With that in mind, the correct option is the third one, the only one where you lose less than 10 pounds in a month.

"You go to the gym for an hour a week and lose 7 pounds in a month"
