Answer:

2.0333

Explanation:

log 108

Express 108 in terms of 2 & 3.

108 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 2² * 3³

log 108 = log 2² * 3³ = log 2² + log 3³ [Using Product Law]

= 2log 2 + 3log 3 [Using Power Law]

Now put the values of log 2 & log 3:

2log 2 + 3log 3

= 2*0.3010 + 3*0.4771

= 0.6020 + 1.4313

= 2.0333
