Exam Question from last year! WE take the A away and convert to Binary. We know A=10 in hex so lets do this below 8 4 2 1
Exam Question from last year! NOW we work out the 6. Again 6x16 = 96 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0
Exam Question from last year! Have a go at this ones yourself!!! We will go through the answers later on.
