Answer

$\ln r$ - $\ln 3$ - $\ln s$

Work Step by Step

$Expand$ $the$ $expression$: $\ln \frac{r}{3s}$ Apply the Second Law of Logarithms $\ln \frac{r}{3s}$ = $\ln r$ - $\ln 3s$ Apply the First Law of Logarithms for $\ln 3s$ $\ln (3\times s)$ = $\ln 3$ +$\ln s$ $\ln r$ - $\ln 3s$ = $\ln r$ - ($\ln 3$ +$\ln s$) $\ln r$ - ($\ln 3$ +$\ln s$) = $\ln r$ - $\ln 3$ - $\ln s$
