Question

What is the premise indicator term in this argument:

We already know the solution to Rafle's third math problem is a number which is dvisiable by 8. I think the answer is probally 32. At any rate, we can suppose that for any number, if it is divisable by 8, then it divsible by 16. So, the soultion to his third problem is divisble by 16. Isnt 32 divsibale by 16.

Answer 1

The premise indicator term in this argument is "we can suppose that". This term indicates that the statement following it is a premise, or an assumption made in the argument. In this case, the premise being made is that if a number is divisible by 8, then it is divisible by 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The premise indicator term in this argument is "we can suppose that". This term indicates that the statement following it is a premise, or an assumption made in the argument. In this case, the premise being made is that if a number is divisible by 8, then it is divisible by 16. This is used to conclude that the solution to Rafle's third math problem is divisible by 16 because it is an answer that is divisible by 8.
