243/64=16(3/4)^n-1 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 243/64 = 16(3/4)^n-1
Divide both sides by 16 to get:
(3/4)^(n-1) = 243/[64*16]
Take the log of both sides to get:
(n-1)log(3/4) = log243-[log64+log16]
(n-1)log(3/4) = -0.624693683...
Divide both sides by log(3/4) to get:
n-1 = 5
n = 6
