You can put this solution on YOUR website! Which one is greater log3 to the base 2 or log5 to the base 3?
======== OR
=======
convert both to the same base:
From there you can use a calculator.
=========
A better solution:
--------
Ooops. That's not right.
Another tutor did it. You OK with that solution?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In the 'better solution' given by another tutor, the answer comes out incorrect.
log(a) / log(b) does not equal log(a/b) because log(a/b) = log(a)-log(b).
I still don't have a non-calculator answer, maybe tomorrow, its late.

Non-calculator solution:
Comparing vs is the same as comparing x and y in: vs
Claim: x>3/2
Set x=3/2 to check:
Comparing the square of this to we get implying x > 3/2 (using 3/2 as the exponent gives a number that is slightly too small)
What if y = 3/2?
Comparing the square of this to we get implying y < 3/2 (using 3/2 as the exponent gives a number that is slightly too big)
