Question

Translate the following statement into English
(~r v q)-> ~p

The v in the center is for "disjunction" and "or" and that is an arrow meaning "if-then" after the parentheses.
p=Jamie is on the train
q=Sylvia is at the park
r=Nigel is in the car

Answer 1

~r = Nigel is not in the car
~r V q = Nigel is not in the car or Sylvia is in the park
~p = Jamie is not in the train
(~r V q) --> ~p = If Nigel is not in the car or Sylvia is in the park, then Jamie is not in the train.
