Statement:
A number that is divisible by 10 is also divisible by 5.


How do I identify the hypothesis and conclusion of each statement?

This is saying: "If a number is divisible by 10 then it is divisible by 5".

The hypothesis is "a number is divisible by 10".
The conclusion is "it is divisible by 5".
