PLZ HELP I AM STUCK!

Which statement is the converse of the conditional statement and is it true or false?

If a number is a whole number, then it is a rational number.

A: If a number is not a whole number, then it is not a rational number. The converse is false

B: If a number is a rational number, then it is a whole number. The converse is False

C: If a number is not a rational number, then it is a whole number. The converse is false

D: If a number is not a rational number, then it is not a whole number. The converse is true

Answer 1

Every whole number is a rational number: for example, 3=31. ... Everywhole number n can be written as a fraction of integers: n=n1. We aren't required to write it that way; we just need to know that it is possible to express every whole number as a fraction of integers, and hence it is rational.

So I Believe the Correct Answer would Be D) If a number is not a rational number, then it is not a whole number. The converse is true
