To convert the base 16 number "1c" to a base 10 number, you can break it down as follows:
In base 16, the digits represent:
- \(1\) is in the 16^1 place (which is 16).
- \(c\) is in the 16^0 place, and in base 16, \(c\) represents 12 in base 10.
So, you calculate:
\[
1 \times 16^1 + c \times 16^0 = 1 \times 16 + 12 \times 1 = 16 + 12 = 28
\]
Therefore, the base 16 number "1c" is equal to 28 in base 10.
The correct response is **28**.
