Use this property of logarithms:

Your equation transforms into:

Now, you have to apply the definition of a logarithm to express the equation in exponential form:

In case you don't remember, this is the definition of a logarithm:

The log is the exponent (y) you have to raise the base (b) to in order to get the power (x).
Finally, solve the rational equation:



The correct answer is d.
Each friend would get 1/12 of a gallon of milk when split equally
In one day, there are 24 hours. In 1 hour, there are 3,600 seconds. So, that means that there are 86,400 seconds. Also, in 1 day, the short hand which denotes the number of hours, makes 2 revolutions around the clock. Its distance traveled would be twice the perimeter of the circle.
Distance traveled by hour hand = 2(2πr) = 4πr₁
In 60 s, the long hand, which denotes numbers of minutes, makes one revolution around the clock. Since there are 86,400 seconds in a day, that would be a total of 1,440 revolutions.
Distance traveled by minute hand = 1,440(2πr) = 2,880πr₂
Difference = 2880πr₂ - 4πr₁ = 4π(720r₂ - r₁), where r₁ is the length of hour hand and r₂ is the length of minute hand.
