First we need to find out what kind
of logarithm rule is given, the given is logarithm product rule which states
that a log of a product is equal to the sum of the log of the first base and
the log of the second base.
By:
= log (1.37 x 10⁹) =
log (1.37) + log (10⁹)
= log (1.37) + 9
= 9 + log (1.37)
In the meantime, 1.37 is between
1 and 10 its logarithm will be between 0 and 1. Thus, the value of log (1.37 x 10⁹)
falls between 9 and 10 because when you compose a scientific notation you will
always have a number among 1 and 10 by 10 to some power. That power tells you
the integer part of the logarithm.

Answer:
9/40
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of event A happening, then event B, is the probability of event A happening times the probability of event B happening given that event A already happened.
In this case, event A is the Captain missing the pirate ship and event B is the pirate hitting the Captain's ship.
The Captain fires first, so her ship can't be sunk before she fires her cannons.
So, the probability of the Captain missing the pirate ship is
3/5
If the Captain missed the pirate ship, the pirate has a normal chance to fire back.
So, the probability of the pirate hitting the Captain's ship given the Captain missing the pirate ship is
3/8
The probability that the Captain misses the pirate ship, but the pirate hits is then the probability of the Captain missing the pirate ship times the probability of the pirate hitting the Captain's ship given the Captain missing the pirate ship.
this is 3/5 X 3/8 = 9/40
