    need help on a simple log question

    Hi i am doing a buiolding surveying degree and have come across this log question that im stuck on as i havnt come across them before. If someone could help me out that would be great. Iv got to work out t in each case.

    53=10 log (1/T) 25=10 log (1/T) 20=10 log (1/T)

    log 1/T = 5.3 log 1/T = 2.5 log 1/T = 2
    1/T= 1/T= 1/T=


    Thanks for any help

    oh that didnt come out right, this is clearer

    53=10 log (1/T)
    log 1/T = 5.3
    1/T=

    25=10 log (1/T)
    log 1/T = 2.5
    1/T=


    20=10 log (1/T)
    log 1/T = 2
    1/T=

    Assuming base 10 you get

    1/T = 10^5.3

    1/T = 10^2.5

    1/T = 10^2

    This is because log (base a) b = c is the same as a^c = b
