how do you figure out base ten? what does the twelve mean?|||2 * 12^2 + 3 * 12 + 9 * 1 will give you
333 in base 10
it is all about place values
333 means 3*10^2 + 3*10 + 3*1
if you had 234(base5) that would be 2*5^2 + 3*5 + 4*1 which would be 69 in base 10
~~|||___________________________________
239 in base 12 is equal to what number in base 10?
The place values are powers of the base number.
For example:
564 is 5 hundreds, 6 tens, and 4 ones.
Notice that hundreds, tens, and ones are powers of 10 ... 10虏, 10鹿, and 10鈦?br>
In base 12,
239鈧佲倐 is 2 12-squareds, 3 twelves, and 9 ones ... 12虏, 12鹿, and 12鈦?br>
That's:
239鈧佲倐 = 2路12虏 + 3路12 + 9 = 333鈧佲個 鈥堚€?or simply 鈥堚€?333
