Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Solution: Convert the base-5 number to base 10 by using place values.

  • (4312)₅ = 4×5³ + 3×5² + 1×5¹ + 2×5⁰

  • Calculate each term: 5³ = 125, so 4×125 = 500; 5² = 25, so 3×25 = 75; 1×5 = 5; 2×1 = 2.

  • Add them: 500 + 75 + 5 + 2 = 582.

Answer: The base-10 value is 582.
