To solve this expression, we first simplify the logarithms using the properties of logarithms:
(log5 (2) - log5 (4)) / (log5 (16) - log5 (0.5))= log5 (2/4) / log5 (16/0.5)= log5 (1/2) / log5 (32)
Next, we can simplify further by rewriting the numerator and denominator using the change of base formula:
= log(1/2) / log(32)= log(1/2) / log(2^5)= log(1/2) / 5log(2)= -log(2) / 5log(2)= -1 / 5
Therefore, the final result is -1/5.
