He would keep 3/8 for himself. Hope it helps! :)
Remember these two combinations: logab=loga+logb, log(a/b)=loga-logb
3logx=logx^3
(1/2)log(x+2)=log(x+2)^(1/2)
2log(z-4)=log(z-4)^2
so the given expression can be combined into log{[(x^3)(z-4)^2]/(x+2)^(1/2)}
Answer:
47/12, or 3 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
9 1/2 - 5 7/12 > convert to improper fractions
19/2 - 67/12
make same denominator (12)
19/2 * 6 = 114/12
114/12 - 67/12 = 47/12
