I am not sure of your formulat
.02 times 10 raised to the 1.5 power and that is multiplied times
6.4/.02 now is that whole fraction multiplied times 10 raised to the 1.5x?
If x is in the numerator when dealing with base 10, you will begin by taking the log of everything. and then use the law of logs.
