You can put this solution on YOUR website!

p: Mary is on the bus.
q: April is in the car.
r: Stan is at the zoo

Since r: Stan is at the zoo, this means that

~r: Stan is NOT at the zoo


Also, because q: April is in the car, this tells us that

~q: April is NOT in the car



Now, translate p v ~r:

p v ~r: Mary is on the bus OR Stan is NOT at the zoo

Now connect this with ~q in the form of IF...THEN (since --> means IF..THEN) to get:

IF Mary is on the bus OR Stan is NOT at the zoo, THEN April is NOT in the car.


So the compound statement (p v ~ r) --> ~q translates to:

(p v ~ r) --> ~q : IF Mary is on the bus OR Stan is NOT at the zoo, THEN April is NOT in the car.
