I changed base to base 1010:

Explanation:

You can change base, remembering that if you want to change base, say, from bb to cc, you have:
log_b(x)=(log_c(x))/(log _c(b))logb(x)=logc(x)logc(b)
In your case we can write:
log_3(10)=(log_(10)(10))/(log_(10)(3)log3(10)=log10(10)log10(3)
Changing into base 1010.

Now you can evaluate the numerator by yourself....try it!
