I tried this:

Explanation:

We can write:
log_6(9)^(1/2)+log_6(5)=
=log_6(sqrt(9))+log_6(5)=
=log_6(3)+log_6(5)=
=log_6(3*5)=log_6(15)

log_6 15=log 15 /log 6=1.5114, nearly.

Explanation:

Use n log_b a = log_b (a^n), log_b(mn)=log_b m+log_b n,and log _b a = log_c a/log_c b.

So, (1/2)log_6 9 + log_6 5

=log_6(9^(1/2)) + log_6 5

=log_6 (3X5)=log_6 15

=log 15/log 6=1.5114, nearly
