Given that log 2 = 0.301 and log 3 = 0.477, find log 6.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 0.778
- Step 1: 6 = 2 x 3, so log 6 = log 2 + log 3. Step 2. = 0.301 + 0.477 = 0.778. Answer: 0.778. Why not the others: 0.176: That subtracts the logs, which is the rule for dividing 3 by 2. 0.144: That multiplies the two logs, which is not a log rule. 1.806: That multiplies 0.301 by 6.
