1100 with a subscript 2 indicates that the number is written in base-2. We normally write numbers in base ten. You should be familiar with places in base 10.
The first digit to the left of the decimal is the ones (10^0), then the next is the tens (10^1), hundreds (10^2), thousands (10^3), and it continues.
In base-19 1100 is one thousand, one hundred.
1's - 0
10's - 0
100's - 1 = 100
1000's - 1 = 1000
1000 + 100 = 1100
In base two the the first digit to the left of the decimal is the ones (2^0), then the next is the twos (2^1), then the fours (2^2) then the 8's (2^3) and it continues.
1100 in base-2 is:
1's - 0
2's - 0
4's - 1 = 4
8's - 1 = 8
That's 8+4 = 12 in base-10 notation.
