same or better precision?

1.22 Convert 0.363636 . . . 10 to its exact equivalent base 8 number.

1.23 (a) Verify that a number in base b can be converted to base b3 by partitioning the
digits of the base b number into groups of three consecutive digits starting at
the radix point and proceeding both left and right and converting each group
into a base b3 digit. (Hint: Represent the base b number using the power series
expansion.)
(b) Verify that a number in base b3 can be converted to base b by expanding each
digit of the base b3 number into three consecutive digits starting at the radix point and
proceeding both left and right.

1.24 (a) Show that the number 121b, where b is any base greater than 2, is a perfect
square (i.e., it is equal to the square of some number).
