Question

Using log tables, calculate $\frac{24.18\times 0.004592}{0.09588\times 3.7619}$

Answer 1

Let $x=\frac{24.18\times 0.004592}{0.09588\times 3.7619}$

$\log x=\log \left(\frac{24.18\times 0.004592}{0.09588\times 3.7619}\right)$

$=\log 24.18+\log 0.004592-\log 0.09588-\log 3.7619$

$=1.3834-2.3379+1.01827-0.5754=-0.51163‬$
