$\log_{5.6} (60)$

Step 1

Rewrite $\log_{5.6} (60)$ as $\log_{5.6} (2^{2} \cdot 3 \cdot 5)$ .

$\log_{5.6} (2^{2} \cdot 3 \cdot 5)$

Step 2

Rewrite $\log_{5.6} (2^{2} \cdot 3 \cdot 5)$ as $\log_{5.6} (2^{2} \cdot 3) + \log_{5.6} (5)$ .

$\log_{5.6} (2^{2} \cdot 3) + \log_{5.6} (5)$

Step 3.1

Rewrite $\log_{5.6} (2^{2} \cdot 3)$ as $\log_{5.6} (2^{2}) + \log_{5.6} (3)$ .

$\log_{5.6} (2^{2}) + \log_{5.6} (3) + \log_{5.6} (5)$

Step 3.2

Expand $\log_{5.6} (2^{2})$ by moving $2$ outside the logarithm.

$2 \log_{5.6} (2) + \log_{5.6} (3) + \log_{5.6} (5)$
