Allan has a piece of string that is 5.4 meters in length. He needs some smaller pieces that are 0.6 meters in length. How many smaller pieces of string can be cut from Allan's string?

9

Step-by-step explanation:

it is just the equation 5.4 ÷ 0.6 = 9

hope this helped :)

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
