If 8 is not greater than 6, then 7 is not greater than 5.D. If 8 is greater than 6, then 7 is not greater than 5.

Answer»

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.
