Worksheet Worksheet 5
1.
Recall that the base-8 number system is a system where we work in groups of 8 instead of groups of 10. The concept of addition carries over perfectly as long as the group sizes are respected.
Draw a base-8 blocks diagram to represent \(25_8 + 34_8\) and compute the result.
2.
Draw a base-8 blocks diagram to represent \(134_8 + 155_8\) and compute the result.
3.
Think about (but do not draw) the diagram you would need to represent \(34_8 + 17_8\) and compute the result from that mental picture.
