Answer:

The value of
log_6{15} is 1.511.

Explanation:

It is given that
log_6{30}\approx 1.898 and
log_6{2}\approx 0.387.

We have to find the value of
log_6{15}.

It can be written as


log_6{15}=log_6(30)/(2)

Using property of lo, we get


log_6{15}=log_630-log_62
log_m(a)/(b)=log_ma-log_mb

Substitute
log_6{30}\approx 1.898 and
log_6{2}\approx 0.387 in the above equation.


log_6{15}=1.898-0.387


log_6{15}=1.511

Therefore the value of
log_6{15} is 1.511.
