Question
how does the value of \\(\log_{2} 100\\) compare with the value of \\(\log_{6} 20\\)?
- the value of \\(\log_{2} 100\\) is about 4 times the value of \\(\log_{6} 20\\)
- the value of \\(\log_{2} 100\\) is about \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) times the value of \\(\log_{6} 20\\)
- the value of \\(\log_{2} 100\\) is about 3 times the value of \\(\log_{6} 20\\)
- the value of \\(\log_{2} 100\\) is about \\(\frac{1}{3}\\) times the value of \\(\log_{6} 20\\)
Estimate the value of the first logarithm

Compare the two estimated values
We find the ratio of the first value to the second value:
$$
\frac{\log_2 100}{\log_6 20} \approx \frac{6.64}{1.67} \approx 3.98 \approx 4
$$
Thus, the value of \(\log_2 100\) is about 4 times the value of \(\log_6 20\).
