The image shows a binary number $(10110)_2$ that needs to be converted into its decimal (base 10) equivalent.

To convert a binary number to a decimal number, we multiply each bit by 2 raised to the power of its position, starting from 0 on the right:

$(10110)_2 = 1 \cdot 2^4 + 0 \cdot 2^3 + 1 \cdot 2^2 + 1 \cdot 2^1 + 0 \cdot 2^0$

Calculating each term:

$1 \cdot 2^4 = 16$ $0 \cdot 2^3 = 0$ $1 \cdot 2^2 = 4$ $1 \cdot 2^1 = 2$ $0 \cdot 2^0 = 0$

Adding them together:

$16 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 0 = 22$

Therefore, $(10110)_2 = 22_{10}$.
