Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image asks which student got the largest and smallest number when given cards with numbers in different bases. The bases for each student are as follows:
- Rozita: 241 in base 5.
- Aishah: 111100₂ (binary or base 2).
- Helmy: 110₂ (binary or base 2).
- Osman: 68₁₀ (decimal or base 10).
- Maznah: 114₈ (octal or base 8).
To solve this, we need to convert all these numbers to base 10 (decimal):
- Rozita: 241₅ =
- Aishah: 111100₂ =
- Helmy: 110₂ =
- Osman: 68₁₀ is already in base 10.
- Maznah: 114₈ =
Comparing the values:
- Rozita: 71
- Aishah: 60
- Helmy: 6
- Osman: 68
- Maznah: 76
The largest value is Maznah (76) and the smallest value is Helmy (6).
Thus, the answer is:
- Largest value: Maznah.
- Smallest value: Helmy.
