Question 50:

• WAEC 1993

(a) Simplify, without using Mathematical tables: \(\log_{10} (\frac{30}{16}) - 2 \log_{10} (\frac{5}{9}) + \log_{10} (\frac{400}{243})\)
(b) Without using Mathematical tables, calculate \(\sqrt{\frac{P}{Q}}\) where \(P = 3.6 \times 10^{-3}\) and \(Q = 2.25 \times 10^{6}\), leaving your answer in standard form.
