Q1. ASCII is used to convert characters (symbols, leters and numbers) into and from
binary. e.g. "A" = 01000001 [1]
Q2. Circle the MSB in this: 01000001 Note: it's the far left bit. NOT the '1' [1]
This is the most significant bit even if
the value of it is zero.
Q3. Circle the LSB in this: 01000001 1 The far right bit. [1]
00110111 [1]
Q6. In denary (also called decimal and base 10), the p l a c e v a l u e of this digit
1000, because it is the fourth digit from the right, so it is worth
103 (10 mul�plied by itself three �mes).
2 419 5 1
In b i n a r y (also called base 2), the place value of this digit is 8, because
the fourth digit from the right, so it is worth
23 (2 mul�plied by itself three �mes).

Q8. Convert this binary number into denary:
101
This is how you convert from denary to binary (page72 of the textbook)
So, the only place values with a 1 are: 16 and 4. So the final answer is:
10100
(1 mark for the correct final answer. "00010100", i.e. the answer
writen as an 8-bit binary number is also OK) [1]
You need to add leading zeros un�l the binary number is eight digits long.
i.e. it will become 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0
[1]
So, the only place values with a 1 are: 32, 8, 4 and 1. So the final answer is:
00101101 DON'T FORGET THE LEADING ZEROS to MAKE IT 8-bit
(1 mark for the correct final answer including the leading zeros) [1]
Q16. Convert this denary number into a binary number.
108
So, the only place values with a 1 are: 64, 32, 8 and 4. So the final answer is:
01101100 DON'T FORGET THE LEADING ZEROS to MAKE IT 8-bit
(1 mark for the correct final answer including the leading zeros) [1]
So, the only place values with a 1 are: 128, 64, 16, 8, 4 and 2. So the final answer is:
11011110
(1 mark for the correct final answer) [1]
