If \(12_{e} = X_{7}\), where e = 12, find X.
The correct answer is A. 20
To convert a number from base \(e\) to base \(7\), you can first convert it to base \(10\) and then from base \(10\) to base \(7\).
Given \(12_{e}\), where \(e = 12\), we need to convert it to base \(10\):
\(12_{e} = 1 \times 12^1 + 2 \times 12^0 = 12 + 2 = 14_{10}\)
Now, we need to convert \(14_{10}\) to base \(7\):
Divide \(14\) by \(7\):
\[14 = 2 \times 7 + 0\]
So, in base \(7\), \(14_{10}\) becomes \(20_{7}\).
