Step 1 :Given that \(\log _{b} 5=0.7\) and \(\log _{b} 3=0.5\), we are asked to evaluate \(\log _{b} \frac{5}{3}\).
Step 2 :Using the properties of logarithms, we know that \(\log_b \frac{a}{c} = \log_b a - \log_b c\).
Step 3 :Substituting the given values, we get \(\log_b \frac{5}{3} = \log_b 5 - \log_b 3 = 0.7 - 0.5\).
Step 4 :Solving the above expression, we get \(\log_b \frac{5}{3} = 0.2\).
Step 5 :Thus, the value of \(\log _{b} \frac{5}{3}\) is approximately \(\boxed{0.2}\).
