Answer 1

`\boxed{\boxed{\text{ The numeral 502 with base 12 is converted to the numeral 502 in base 10}}}`

The base 12 system has digits with values from 0 to 11: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10, and 11.

Hence, the digits of the base 12 system would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, and B.

Since the numeral 502 in the base 12 system has only the digits 5, 0 and 2, each one of them represents the same digit to a numeral in the base 10 system.

In conclusion, the numeral 502 with base 12 is converted to the numeral 502 in base 10.
