    Hello
    \frac{\ln 3}{\ln 2}=m,\frac{\ln 5}{\ln 2}=n\Leftrightarrow \ln 2=\frac{\ln 5}{n}=\frac{\ln 3}{m}\Leftrightarrow \frac{1}{\ln 2}=\frac{m}{\ln 3}=\frac{n}{\ln 5}.
    \Leftrightarrow \frac{\ln 0.15}{\ln 2}=\frac{\ln 0.15\times m}{\ln 3}=\frac{\ln 0.15\times n}{\ln 5},therefore \log_{2}0.15=m\log_{3}0.15=n\log_{5}0.15.
