Number Systems

1. a) Assume that your car's odometer shows the mileage in octal. If the current reading of the odometer is 24,516, how many minles (in decimals) has the car been driven? What will be the new reading if the car is driven 23 (decimal) miles?

b) What will be the current odometer reading in the problem given earlier, if the odometer uses a 5 - digit hexadecimal representation? What will be the new reading after driving 23 (decimal) miles?
