This is not a &amp;nbsp;Math problem - this is a puzzle, instead.


Its meaning is that &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;8 + 8 &amp;nbsp;in base &amp;nbsp;10 &amp;nbsp;is &amp;nbsp;16, &amp;nbsp;and &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;16 &amp;nbsp;in base 2 &amp;nbsp;is &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;1000. 



So,  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;8+8 base 10 &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;is the same quantity as &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;1000 base 2.
