Detailed solutions and some general tricks:

 

1) 25 and 52 are two-digit numbers in base b. Therefore 2 and 5 are digits in the base b numeral system.

Also given that 25_b\times 2_b=52_b.

We have 2_b\times 2_b=4_n.

\therefore 5_b\times 2_b=12_b

\Rightarrow 5_b\times 2_b=10_b+2_b.

Now 10_b=b_{10}, 5_b=5_{10} and 2_b=2_{10}.

\therefore 5_{10}\times 2_{10}=b_{10}+2_{10}

\Rightarrow 10_{10}=(b+2)_{10}

\Rightarrow b=8_{10}.

 

2)

Convert the decimal number 22 to binary number

Hence 22_{10}=1\times 2^4+0\times 2^3+1\times 2^2+1\times 2^1+0\times 2^0=10110_2.

 

3)

Convert the decimal number 110 to octal number

Hence 110_{10}=1\times 8^2+5\times 8^1+6\times 8^0=156_8.

 

4)

Convert the decimal number 733 to hexadecimal number

Hence 733_{10}=2\times 16^2+D\times 16^1+D\times 16^0=2DD_{16}.

 

5)

Convert the decimal number 0.153 to binary number

Hence 0.153_{10}=0\times 2^{-1}+0\times 2^{-2}+1\times 2^{-3}+0\times 2^{-4}+0\times 2^{-5}+1\times 2^{-6}+1\times 2^{-7}+1\times 2^{-8}+\dots =0.00100111_2. (After we round and cut the number.)

 

6)

Convert the decimal number frac{5}{11} to binary number

Hence \frac{5}{11}=0.0111\dots _2.

 

7)

Convert the decimal number 0.153 to octal number

Hence 0.153_{10}=1\times 8^{-1}+1\times 8^{-2}+6\times 8^{-3}+2\times 8^{-4}+5\times 8^{-5}+4\times 8^{-6}+\dots =0.116254_8. (After we round and cut the number.)

 

8)

Convert the decimal number 0.153 to hexadecimal number

Hence 0.153_{10}=2\times 16^{-1}+7\times 16^{-2}+2\times 16^{-3}+11\times 16^{-4}+0\times 16^{-5}+2\times 16^{-6}+\dots =0.272B02_{16}. (After we round and cut the number.)
