If you use a calculator or online website, give the source and tell me exactly what you provided as input. For example, if you used Excel to compute 16 * 16, tell me “I typed =16*16 into Excel and got 256. You may type your answer right into this document.

Part I. Basic Computations

1. (3 points) Convert the binary form (base 2) to decimal form (base 10): 01110111 base 2

The answer is 011101112 = 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11910 answer 119

2. (3 points) Convert from hexadecimal form (base 16) to binary form (base 2): 7A base 16

The answer is 7A16 = (7 × 161) + (10 × 160) = 112 + 10 = 12210 answer 122

3. (3 points) Convert from hexadecimal form (base 16) to decimal form (base 10): 91 base 16

The answer is 9116 = (9 × 161) + (1 × 160) = 144 + 1 = 14510 answer 145

4. (3 points) Convert from decimal form (base 10) to binary form (base 2): 81 base 10

The answer is 101 0001 The number base caluculator. (2004). Cleavebooks.

5. (3 points) Determine the ASCII binary code used to represent the following word: Music

01001101 01110101 01110011 01101001 01100011 The number base caluculator. (2004). Cleavebooks.
