Answer:

log(60) = 1.7781

Explanation:

60 = 3·2·10 = (√9)(∛8)(10)

log(60) = (1/2)log(9) +(1/3)log(8) +1 = 0.9542/2 +0.9031/3 +1

log(60) ≈ 1.7781 . . . . accurate in all digits shown

_____

It appears that the problem statement has a missing digit in the log of 8. It is actually about 0.9031, so that is the value we used above.
