Answer

The statement, ${{\log }_{a}}\frac{m}{n}={{\log }_{a}}m-{{\log }_{a}}n$ is true.

Work Step by Step

${{\log }_{a}}\frac{m}{n}={{\log }_{a}}m-{{\log }_{a}}n$ The quotient rule for logarithms says that, for any positive numbers M, N and a $\left( a\ne 1 \right)$, ${{\log }_{a}}\frac{M}{N}={{\log }_{a}}M-{{\log }_{a}}N$. Therefore, ${{\log }_{a}}\frac{m}{n}={{\log }_{a}}m-{{\log }_{a}}n$
