Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, let’s break it into two parts based on the image content.
Part 1: Place Values of a Base-8 Number with 5 Digits
In base-8 (octal), each digit represents a power of 8, starting from the rightmost digit (which is the place). For a 5-digit base-8 number, the place values from left to right are:
- Leftmost digit:
- Next digit:
- Middle digit:
- Next digit:
- Rightmost digit:
So, from left to right, the place values are: 4096, 512, 64, 8, 1.
Part 2: Converting Base-8 Numbers to Decimal
To convert each base-8 number to decimal, we use the formula: where each position is counted from the right, starting at 0.

Here are some additional related questions:
- How do place values change in other bases, such as base-10 or base-16?
- Can you explain how to convert decimal numbers back to base-8?
- How would the process differ for a base-16 number with 5 digits?
- What are practical applications of using different bases in mathematics or computer science?
- How do you represent a base-8 (octal) number in binary?
