Answer:

If it is not raining, then I will not carry an umbrella

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

"If it is raining, then I will carry an umbrella" ----> This is a conditional statement

we know that

To form the inverse of the conditional statement, take the negation of both the hypothesis and the conclusion

so

If it is raining------> If it is not raining

I will carry an umbrella-------> I will not carry an umbrella

therefore

The inverse is

If it is not raining, then I will not carry an umbrella
