Given that :
log3=0.477 , log4=0.602 and log5=0.699
Now , as you know that
[tex]\log\text{MN}=\log M +\log N[/tex]
We have to find the value of
[tex]\log_{5}12[/tex]
So,[tex]\log_{5}12[/tex]=[tex]\frac{\log12}{ \log5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\log 4+\log 3}{\log 5}\\[/tex]
Now Putting the values of log3, log4 and log5 in the above expression
[tex]\log_{5}12=\frac{0.477 +0.602}{0.699}[/tex]
=1.0079/0.699
=1.5436..
=1.544 (approx)
So, the value of [tex]\log_{5}12[/tex] is 1.544(approx).
