Math Problem Statement
Solution
From the image, it appears that you are working on converting a base-7 number to decimal values, specifically identifying the place values in a base-7 system and converting them accordingly.
In this problem:
- Each position represents a power of 7.
- Starting from the rightmost digit, each position is a power of 7 increasing from to for a five-digit number.
- You have partially filled out the answers, but one answer (related to ) is incorrect, as indicated by the red marking.
Correct Place Values in Base-7:
To convert a number in base-7 to decimal, each digit is multiplied by , where is its position from the right (starting at 0). Here’s a quick guide:
- 7^0 is 1
- 7^1 is 7
- 7^2 is 49
- 7^3 is 343
- 7^4 is 2401
If you're asked to convert 5430 from base-7 to decimal, calculate as follows:
Let’s break it down:
Now, add these values:
So, 1932 should be the decimal equivalent of .
