Simplify \(\frac{\log \sqrt{27}}{\log \sqrt{81}}\)

  • A. 3
  • B. 2
  • C. \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  • D. \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Correct Answer: D. \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Explanation

\(\frac{\log \sqrt{27}}{\log \sqrt{81}}\) = \(\frac{\log 27\frac{1}{2}}{81\frac{1}{2}}\)

= \(\frac{\log 3\frac{1}{2}}{\log 3^2}\)

\(\frac{\frac{3}{2} \log 3}{2 \log 3} = \frac{3}{2} \div \frac{2}{1}\)

= \(\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\)

= \(\frac{3}{4}\)
