if y = 23five + 101three find y leaving your answer in base two
Answer Details
First we convert the numbers to base ten 23five= 2 x 51 + 3 x 50 = 10 + 3 = 13 101five = (1 x 32) + (0 x 31) + (1 x 30) = 9 + 0 + 1 = 10 So, y = 13 + 10 = 23 To convert 23 to base 2 (as in the diagram above) y = 23 = 10111five
