  1. 1)555   its eq= 5*36+5*6+5=180+30+5=215

    2)222    =2*9+2*3+2=18+6+2=26

    3)AAA  = A*121+A*11+A=133A=1310  [a=10 but i'm not sure on this one]


  2. First look at base 10. The greatest three-digit number in base 10 is 999₁₀. Following the same pattern, the largest three-digit numbers in  bases 6, 3, and 11 are

    555₆

    222₃

    AAA₁₁, where A=10

    Their decimal equivalents:

    555₆ = 5×6² + 5×6¹ + 5×6⁰

    = 180₁₀ + 30₁₀ + 5₁₀

    = 215₁₀

    222₃ =  2×3² + 2×3¹ + 2×3⁰

    = 18₁₀ + 6₁₀ + 2₁₀

    = 26₁₀

    AAA₁₁ = =  A×11² + A×11¹ + A×11⁰

    = 1210₁₀ + 110₁₀ +10₁₀

    = 1330₁₀
