Properties of Logs
logb(x/y) = log<span>bx</span> - log<span>by</span>.
therefore
log5 (4/7)= log5 (4)- log5 (7)
<span>Solve log 5 (4) and log 5 (7) with the base change of the logarithm</span>
<span>log 5 4 = log 4 / log 5 </span>
Use the calculator:
<span>
<span>log 5 4 =0.8613531161
</span></span>
log 5 7 = log 7 / log 5
<span>log 5 7 =1.2090619551</span>
<span>log5 (4/7)= log5
(4)- log5 (7)=-0.347708839</span>
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the spent money to rent cost:
27-5.75=21.25
Divide the answer to the cost of each game:
21.25/4.25=5
he played 5 times.
The answer to the problem is x=7. Here is the work:
(1/3)x =16 (x represents the total number of books he has)
x=48
