Question 271227: Ineed some helpw with the following two questions...
1. Compute the sum of the following unsigned integers. 0b11000100 + 0b00110110

2. How many bits are required to represent the decimal number 1497 as unsigned binary integer?

Well first of all I am not used to seeing binary numbers with a b in them but it has been a couple years since I delt with them.
A) I used 11000100 + 00110110
. 11000100
+ 00110110
-------------
11111010

B)To see how many bits some takes use the equation 2%5EX
For example if X = 3 or 3 bits; 2%5E3+=+8 with three bits you can go up to 8 in decimal but not reach 8.
2%5E10+=+1024
2%5E11+=+2048
For your question, for 1497 in decimal form, you need 11 bits.
