I changed base to base 10:

Explanation:

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

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