Answer:
The characteristic of a logarithm is the number to the left of the decimal.
(The characteristic is like an exponent).
We are working with base 3 logs.
So if we are increasing a number by multiplying it by the base of the logarithm, (in this case 3 times 3) then we increase the characteristic by two.
Since 2 is the exponent of 3^2 then to get the log 3 of 72, we get the log3 (8) and increase it by 2.
1.8928 +2 = 3.8928
Had we been working with base 10 logs and we were multiplying a number by 100, We would increase the characteristic by 2 because 100 = 10^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 94 2/5. All you have to do is multiply 1/5 by 472. Then, you'll have your answer.
Hope this helps! :D
Seems like you already have the answer so peace
28 mins = 2 miles
1 min = 2 ÷ 28 = 1/14 miles
70 mins = 1/14 x 70 = 5 miles
Answer: 5 miles
