Answer

${\frac{1}{5}}$

Work Step by Step

A natural logarithm is a logarithm to base $e$. As shown on page 582, when a natural logarithm is written in the form $ln (x)$, this is equivalent to the expression $log_{e}x$. Therefore, $ln \sqrt[5]e=ln (e^{\frac{1}{5}})=log_{e}e^{\frac{1}{5}}=\frac{1}{5}$. We know this, because $(e)^{\frac{1}{5}}=e^{\frac{1}{5}}$.
