Question 1 Report
Add 54 \( {}_{\mathit{eight}} \) and 67 \( {}_{\mathit{eight}} \) giving your answers in base eight
Answer Details
54 and 67 = 1438
Starting with normal addition, 4 + 7 gives 11
(it is more than the base, 8) 8 goes in 11 just 1 time, remaining 3, the remainder will be written, and the 1 will be added to the sum of 5 and 6 which gives 12 altogether, 8 goes in 12 one time remaining 4, the remainder 4 was written and then the 1 that was the quotient was then written since nothing to add the 1 to.
So answer is 143 in base eight
