Your answer :
548  = 4410 2258  = 14910 7108  = 45610 1, 0008  = 51210  This group contains a mistake.
Well, let’s check by writing the octal numbers in expanded form:
548  = 5(81) + 4(80)  = 5(8) + 4(1) = 4410; 2258  = 2(82) + 2(81) + 5(80)  = 2(64) + 2(8) + 5(1) = 14910; 7108  = 7(82) + 1(81) + 0(80)  = 7(64) + 1(8) + 0(1) = 45610; 1, 0008  = 1(83) + 0(82) + 0(81) + 0(80)  = 1(512) + 0(64) + 0(8) + 0(1) = 51210.
They’re all correct. Return to Page 182 and try again.
