The converse of a conditional statement is when you switch the hypothesis and conclusion; if p, then q turns into if q, then p.
The converse of each statement:
a. If a vehicle is a car, then it has four wheels --> If a vehicle has four wheels, then it is a car. FALSE--it could be a truck, bus, etc.
b. If you go to Asia from the US, then you cross an ocean --> If you cross an ocean, then you're going to Asia from the US. FALSE--you could be going to Europe, or from Australia to Africa, etc.
c. If you own a dog, then your pet is furry --> If your pet is furry, then you own a dog. FALSE--it could be a cat, rabbit, etc.
d. If you can stand up, then you can walk --> If you can walk, then you can stand up. TRUE--there is no way to walk without standing up.
