This is the system of base-6 numbers: the right hand is the unit digit and the left hand is the unit of 6.
Therefore, from the first one (4 on the left and 1 on the right), ( 4 × 6 ) + ( 1 × 1 ) = 25.
Then, from the second one (2 on the left and 3 on the right), ( 2 × 6 ) + ( 3 × 1 ) = 15.
Hence, for the last one (5 on the left and 0 on the right), ( 5 × 6 ) + ( 0 × 1 ) = 3 0 .
In other words, ( 4 1 ) 6 = 25 ; ( 2 3 ) 6 = 15 ; ( 5 0 ) 6 = 30.
