Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a quiz question about a base 12 numeral system, where unique symbols are used to represent digits from 0 to 11. Here is a transcription of the relevant information:
Symbols for Base 12 Numerals:
0 = โต
1 = ๐
2 = ๐ก
3 = ๐
4 = ๐ท
5 = ๐ณ
6 = ๐ช
7 = ๐ฐ
8 = ๐ฉ
9 = ๐ฎ
10 = ๐ฅ
11 = ๐ฆ
Question:
"How would you write the following number in base 10?" followed by the base 12 number: ๐ฆ ๐ก ๐
.
Let's break down the base 12 number to base 10:
-
The number
๐ฆ ๐ก ๐
corresponds to the digits:๐ฆ
= 11๐ก
= 2๐
= 3
-
Interpreting the number
11 2 3
in base 12:
Now let's calculate this step-by-step.
Adding these values gives:
Conclusion:
The base 10 equivalent of the base 12 number ๐ฆ ๐ก ๐
is 1611.

Additional Questions for Exploration:
- How would you convert another base 12 number, like
๐ณ๐ฉ๐ฐ
, to base 10? - What is the process for converting from base 10 to base 12?
- How do you perform addition in base 12?
- Why might a base 12 numeral system be used historically or practically?
- Can you think of any other numeral systems that use bases different from 10 or 12?
Tip: When converting numbers from one base to another, break down each digit according to its place value, and use the base's power to compute the equivalent in base 10.
