Answer
$\frac{1}{2}$
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, $ln \sqrt e=ln (e^{\frac{1}{2}})=log_{e}e^{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{2}$. We know this, because $(e)^{\frac{1}{2}}=e^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
