Convert 43112_5 to base ten.
Solution
The problem asks to convert the number (which is in base 5) to base 10.
We convert a base-5 number to base-10 by expanding it using powers of 5. Each digit is multiplied by 5 raised to the power of its position, starting from the right (which is position 0).
The number can be expressed as:
Now let's calculate each term:
Adding them up:
Thus, in base 10 is .
