Steps

Step 1 :The problem is asking for the logarithm base 216 of 6. The logarithm base b of a number x is the exponent to which b must be raised to get x. In other words, if \(b^y = x\), then \(\log_b x = y\).

Step 2 :In this case, we need to find the exponent to which 216 must be raised to get 6. We know that 216 is \(6^3\), so we can rewrite the equation as \(\log_{6^3} 6\).

Step 3 :This simplifies to \(\frac{1}{3}\), because \(6^3\) raised to the power of \(\frac{1}{3}\) equals 6.

Step 4 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{0.3333333333333333}\)
