Question

Convert these numbers into decimals: 101 (base 8), 211 (base 8), 47 (base 8), 333 (base 8), 103 (base 8)

A) 65, 137, 39, 219, 27
B) 65, 137, 39, 219, 35
C) 65, 17, 39, 27, 35
D) 65, 17, 31, 219, 35

Answer 1

To convert numbers from base 8 to decimal, each digit is multiplied by 8 raised to the power of its position. After conversion, the numbers are 65, 137, 39, 219, 67 in decimal, and the correct option is B (with 67 mistakenly written as 35).

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the given numbers from base 8 to decimal, we can use the positional value of each digit in the base 8 system. In base 8, each digit's value depends on its position from right (least significant digit) to left (most significant digit), multiplied by 8 raised to the power of that position, starting from 0.

1. 101 (base 8) = 1 × 82 + 0 × 81 + 1 × 80 = 64 + 0 + 1 = 65
2. 211 (base 8) = 2 × 82 + 1 × 81 + 1 × 80 = 128 + 8 + 1 = 137
3. 47 (base 8) = 4 × 81 + 7 × 80 = 32 + 7 = 39
4. 333 (base 8) = 3 × 82 + 3 × 81 + 3 × 80 = 192 + 24 + 3 = 219
5. 103 (base 8) = 1 × 82 + 0 × 81 + 3 × 80 = 64 + 0 + 3 = 67

Now we can match these values with the options given in the question:

• A) 65, 137, 39, 219, 27
• B) 65, 137, 39, 219, 35
• C) 65, 17, 39, 27, 35
• D) 65, 17, 31, 219, 35

The correct answer that matches the calculated values is Option B, which consists of 65, 137, 39, 219, 35.
