Change from base 10 to the give base

Writing numbers in base 10 means to write them as a combination of powers of 10, for example

1925 = 1\cdot 10^3 + 9\cdot 10^2 + 2\cdot 10^1+5\cdot 10^0

So, writing numbers in any base means to do the same thing: for example, in base 3, we have

102_3 = 1\cdot 3^2 +0\cdot 3^1 +2\cdot 3^0 = 12_{10}

So, in order to write 80 in base 3, we have to find out the largest power of 3 that fits: we have

3^0=3,\ \ 3^1=3,\ \ 3^2=9,\ \ 3^3=27,\ \ 3^4=81

So, since 3^4 is too much, our number will have 4 digits:

abcd_3 = a\cdot 3^3 +b\cdot 3^2 +c\cdot 3^1 + d\cdot 3^0

In order to find the digits, again we see "how much it fits": we have

0\cdot 3^3 = 0\ \ 1\cdot 3^3 = 27,\ \ 2\cdot 3^3 = 54

So, we choose a=2. The remainder is 80-54=26

Now we need to fix the coefficient for 3^2: we have

0\cdot 3^2 = 0\ \ 1\cdot 3^2 = 9,\ \ 2\cdot 3^2 = 18

Again we choose b=2

Keep going like this and you'll find out that

80_3 = 2222

This was actually a special case, because our number is exactly one less than a power of 3: we have

80=3^4-1

and just like in base 10, when we subtract 1 from a power of 10 we get a number composed by 9 only:

10000000-1 = 9999999

In every base, when we subtract 1 from a power of the base we get a number composed by (base-1) only:

(10000-1)_3 = 2222

Scientists want to know the total trout population in a part of Lake Michigan. They tagged and released 200 trouts back into the
blondinia [14]
The estimate would be 1200.

We will set up a proportion for this.  10 out of 60 of the sample were tagged, so that is the first ratio.  The 200 that were tagged would be in the numerator of the second ratio (10 was the portion tagged, and 200 is the portion tagged, so they both go on top).  We do not know the total number so we use a variable:

10/60 = x/200

Cross multiply:

10*x = 60*200
10x = 12000

Divide both sides by 10:
10x/10 = 12000/10
x = 1200
