The image shows a Mayan numeral system with three levels. In the Mayan numeral system:

- A dot (•) represents 1.
- A bar (—) represents 5.
- The shell-like symbol represents 0.

The place values in the Mayan numeral system increase by powers of 20 from bottom to top, as follows:

1. The bottom row (shell symbol) represents \(0 \times 1 = 0\).
2. The middle row (three dots) represents \(3 \times 20 = 60\).
3. The top row (one dot) represents \(1 \times 400 = 400\).

Now, we sum these values:

\[
0 + 60 + 400 = 460
\]

So, the equivalent Base-10 number is **460**.

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:
1. How does the Mayan numeral system compare to the decimal system we use today?
2. What is the significance of the shell symbol in the Mayan number system?
3. How are larger numbers represented in the Mayan system?
4. What is the highest number that can be represented with a single place in Mayan numerals?
5. How would you write the number 800 in Mayan numerals?

**Tip:** The Mayan numeral system uses a base-20 (vigesimal) system, which is different from our base-10 system, making it efficient for expressing large numbers.

Given the following Mayan Number, write the equivalent Base-10 number in the Answer Box. Each row (place value) is separated with white space.
