Answer:

The number that comes after 144five is:

= 200five.

Explanation:

Adding 1 to 144 base 5 will result in:

144

+ 1

= 200

b) To obtain the next number that comes after 144five, add 1five to 144five. Since the numbers are in base 5, 1five added to 4five will result in 0 with 1 carried backward. When 1 is added to the next 4, the result will be 0 with 1 carried backward. 1 added to 1 = 2, all in base 5. Figures in base 5 cannot exceed 4. The usual numbers for a base 5 operation are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
