<PRE><B>Question 866646</B>
Given Log 2=0.387, log3=0.613, and log5=0.898, find log 16875/2 The &quot;&quot; is meant to be a subscript. 
----
log(16875/2) = log(16875)-log(2)
----
Note: 16875/5 = 3375
3375/5 = 675
675/5 = 135
135/5 = 27
---
27 = 3^3
--------------------
So,: log16875) = log(5^4*3^3) = 4log(5)+3log(3) = 4*0.898+3*0.613 = 5.431
----
Ans: log[16875/2] = 5.431-0.387 = 5.044
