The first choice box options are: about the same: much greater for conference a than b: much greater for conference b than a.
the second choice box options are: about the same: greater for conference a than b: greater for conference b than a

your answer would be b

step-by-step explanation:

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:
