Answer

We go to the beach if and only if the temperature is above 85°, and we finished studying.

Work Step by Step

p: The temperature is above 85°. q: We finished studying. r: We go to the beach. We write each symbolic statement in words and order based on dominance. r ↔ p ᴧ q By grouping in parenthesis based on the order of dominance, we find: r ↔ (p ᴧ q) (p ᴧ q) : the temperature is above 85°, and we finished studying. r ↔ (p ᴧ q): We go to the beach if and only if the temperature is above 85°, and we finished studying.
