0110 0100
5. Colours in art packages are often given using hexadecimal as illustrated
below with #00ccff.Explain why hexadecimal is used rather than the actual
24-bit colour value. [2]

Because Hexadecimal is much easier to remember for humans and easier to type
down without error and such.

6. Add 00100111 to 00101010. You should include your working. [2]

0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1+ 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 = 01010001

8. An error occurs when you try to add 11011001 to 11100100 and store it as
an 8-bit number. Explain the error that occurs. [2]

This is Because you would need a 9th bit to display the total number this can be
more easily visualised if you think about how the highest digit you can find on an
8bit denary value is 255 but these both have a 1 in the 128-column making it
higher than that
