I can explain how binary sequences are used to represent digital data. I can convert between binary and decimal.
Count to 3…
We are used to counting in decimal because we have 10 fingers. We work with place values that go up in powers of 10:
| 1000 | 100 | 10 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 |
Count to 11…
Binary works the same way, but the place values go up in powers of 2:
| 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
