give a counterexample that demonstrates that the converse of the statement is false:
If Terry lives in Tampa, then she lives in Florida.
The converse of this statement is:
If Terry lives in Florida, then she lives in Tampa.
The counter example is: what if Terry lives in Orlando, Orlando is in Florida, but it's not Tampa. In other words, just because someone lives in Florida doesn't mean that they live in Tampa.
Happy Calculating!!!
