Step 1. Identify the number of functional groups and their order of precedence. You have a primary hydroxyl group and a ketone group. The ketone has highest precedence, so the ending must be -one.
Step 2. Count the carbons, there are five. Start numbering from the carbon nearest to the highest functional group.
Step 3. The systematic name is 5-hydroxypentan-2-one
