Give one (1) advantage of using binary numbers rather than decimal numbers in a computer system.
Binary numbers are easier for humans to understand and calculate.
Binary numbers allow computers to process data more efficiently using electrical signals.
Binary numbers use more digits, making them more secure.
Binary numbers reduce the amount of memory needed to store data.
What is the binary numbering system?
A system used only for converting decimal numbers into characters.
A system that uses groups of eight digits to represent letters and symbols.
A system where numbers are stored as codes that represent letters and symbols.
A number system that operates on base-2 and uses only two digits to represent data.
Why do computers represent data in binary form?
Because binary makes data easier for humans to understand and manipulate.
Because binary uses fewer digits than other number systems, saving memory.
Because binary matches the on/off states of electronic components in computers.
Because binary is the only numbering system that can store characters and symbols.
Why is the hexadecimal number system used in computing?
Because it provides a more compact and readable way to represent binary values.
Because it is the default system used by programming languages for calculations.
Because it can represent all types of data using only 0s and 1s.
Because it is easier for computers to process than binary.
Which of the following is a combination of bits that represents a byte?
110
1010
11101100
100110101
A byte is smaller than a bit and stores one binary digit.
A byte is smaller than a bit and stores one binary digit.
One byte is made up of eight bits.
A bit stores a full character while a byte stores only 1 or 0.
A bit and a byte are the same and used interchangeably.
