To rephrase the given statement as a conditional statement in if-then form, let's carefully analyze the original sentence:
"When a number is divisible by 9, the number is divisible by 3."
We need to identify the hypothesis and the conclusion in the if-then structure:
1. Hypothesis: The condition that the statement assumes. For our case, this is "a number is divisible by 9."
2. Conclusion: The result that follows from the hypothesis. For our case, this is "the number is divisible by 3."
Now, assembling these parts in an if-then structure, we get:
- If a number is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 3.
So, the best description of the conclusion part of this conditional statement is:
- Then the number is divisible by 3.
