Look at the statement If 9 is an odd number, then 9 is divisible by 2. The first part is true and second part is false so logically the statement is false. The contrapositive is: If 9 is not divisible by 2, then 9 is not an odd number. The first part is true, the second part is false so the statement is true. Now the converse of the contrapositive If 9 is not an odd number, then 9 is not divisible by two. The first part is false and the second part is true so it is false. The original statement is if p then q,the contrapositive is if not q then not p and the converse of that is if not p then not q
