How should I read 5x3=15 in English? it is right: Five times three is equal to fifteen In spanish: cinco por tres es igual a quince what about 4/2=2 , 2+2=4, 5-3=2, 5^2=25, √25 = 5, log (100) = 2, Ln(e) = 1 Ln in spanish: "Logaritmo natural" e = 2.71828182846, which means e is the base of Ln thanks in advance.What about is logarithm in a different base how do I read that?-- logarithm in base xxx of xxx is equal to xxx -> Is it right?

In Britain we say, 'Five time three equals fifteen.' But, five times three is equal to fifteen is grammatically correct. 4/2=2 Four divided by two equals two. 2+2=4 'Two plus two is four' or 'Two plus two equals four' 5-3=2 'Five minus three equals two' or 'Five take three equals two' 5^2=25 'Five squared equals twenty five' or 'Five to the power of two equals twenty five' √25 = 5 'The square root of twenty five equals five' log (100) = 2 'Log one hundred equals two' or 'The log of one hundred is two' Ln(e) = 1 'The natural log of E equals one' or 'The natural log of E is one'
