Binary Code
Description
Have you ever wondered why we use the base-ten, or decimal, number system? Of course, we have ten fingers. The decimal number system that works so well for us is completely incompatible with digital electronics. Digital electronics only understand two states, ON and OFF. This is why digital electronics use the base-two, or binary, number system. In order for you to be able to design digital electronics, you will need to be proficient at converting numbers between the decimal and binary number systems. In this activity you will learn how to convert numbers between the decimal and binary number systems.
Conclusion Quesions
1. Computers and other devices use binary coding because with only the numbers 1 and 0, allows them to determine whether a piece of technology is either on or off.
2. Three examples why subscripting is important is because without it, the number could calculate totally off, could be used for other things (taken a different way), or the wrong inputs will give the wrong outputs.
3. 101101 is larger than 011010.
4. The first, or significant number, is 1, giving it a higher value than 0.
5. YES I WAS CORRECT I TOTALLY TOLD YA SO.
6. In the LSB column, the numbers alternate back and forth. In the middle column, the numbers alternate every two times, in the MSB column, the numbers have an equal amount.
