Question

What do you get when you solve this equation where t = time in hours


log t = (0.576 log (72/526) -0.176

Would it matter if t were in minutes?

Thank you

Answer 1

You have two left parentheses and one right so it is not clear what you mean.
Do you mean log base 10?

Answer 2

If t is defined as time in hours in the equation, and you have time in minutes, you need to convert to hours first.

Answer 3

logt = (0.576log(72/526)) - 0.176.

logt = 0.576log(0.136882129) - 0.176,
logt = -0.86365- 0.176,
logt = -1.039653,
10^(-1.039653) = t,
0.091274 = t.

Or t = 0.091274.

Answer 4

The results would be the same regardless of what you call t.

If the problem states that t is in
minutes. Then your answer is in minutes. You can convert to what units
you desire.
