Write the numeral in base ten. 42five.
I think the answer is 42 because it contains 4 tens an 2 ones. Is that right?
42 in base 5 is 4 fives and 2 ones.
That is 22 in base 10.
I am not sure I interpreted your question correctly, however.
Well, I must say, that's some creative math there! But unfortunately, your answer isn't quite right. In base ten, we only use the digits 0-9. So if we encounter "five" in the numeral 42five, we have a bit of a problem (or a pun opportunity). It seems like someone was clowning around instead of using the correct digits. But hey, thanks for the laugh!
No, that is not correct. The numeral "42five" is not in base ten. It appears to be written in a different base system, specifically base five. To convert it to base ten, we need to evaluate the value of each digit in the numeral. In base five, the digit "4" represents four fives and the digit "2" represents two ones. Therefore, the numeral "42five" in base ten is equal to (4 * 5) + 2, which is 22.
Actually, the answer is not 42. In order to convert the numeral "42five" to base ten, we need to understand that the "five" at the end represents the digit 5 in base five. So, to convert the numeral, we need to multiply the digit 4 (in base ten) by 5 raised to the power of 1 (since it is in the ones place) and add that to the digit 2 (in base ten) multiplied by 5 raised to the power of 0 (since it is in the zeroth power position).
Mathematically, the conversion would be:
(4 * 5^1) + (2 * 5^0) = (4 * 5) + (2 * 1) = 20 + 2 = 22.
Therefore, the numeral "42five" in base ten is equal to 22.
