 Conversion from other bases to base 10
Hint: we use expansion with given base.

1) Convert (213) 4 to base 10.

Step 1) Write the number in expanded form 2(42 ) + 1(41 ) + 3(40 )

Step 2) 2(16) + 1(4) + 3(1) = 32 + 4 + 3 = 39

2) Convert (10011) 2 to base 10.

Step 1) Write the number in expanded form 1(24 ) + 0(23 ) + 0(42 ) + 1(21 ) + 1(21 )

Step 2) 1(16) + 0(8) + 0(4) + 1(2) + 1(1) = 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 19

3) Convert (234)5 to base 10.

Step 1) Write the number in expanded form 2(52 ) + 3(51 ) + 4(50 )

Step 2) 2(25) + 3(5) + 4(1) = 50 + 15 + 4 = 69

4) Convert ( ABE )16 to base 10.

Step 1) Write the number in expanded form A(162 ) + B(161 ) + E (160 )

Step 2) A(256) + B(16) + E (1)

= 10(256) + 11(16) + 14(1)
= 2750
