Just as you did with octal conversion, write out the hex number, placing each digit under the

Convert 2C16 to decimal:
The decimal equivalent of 2C16 is 4410.
Use the same procedure we used with binary and octal to convert base 16 fractions to decimal.
If you choose to convert the hex number to binary and then to decimal, the solution will look like
this:
