Lets see who is good with computers?

Question

10101100= how many bytes

00010000=how many bytes

11111110=how many bytes

00000001=how many bytes

The answers are 172, 16, 1, 254, but which ones which

Answer 1

1st - 172

2nd - 16

3rd - 254

4rth - 1

though, i dont see what this has to do with computers.!

Answer 2

All you have to do is Google "binary translator", but anyway here's the answers:

10101100= 172

00010000=16

11111110=254

00000001=1

Answer 3

10101100 = 172

00010000 = 16

11111110 = 254

00000001 = 1

Answer 4

My answers are:

10101100 - 172 bytes

00010000 - 16   bytes

11111110 - 254 bytes

00000001 - 1 bytes

I believe I am good with computers. Thanks.

Answer 5

some of us are out of school and that is all you are asking is a math ? now any one can tell you that a thousand bytes make a gig and a thousand gigs make a terabyte  

Answer 6

And what problem does this involve? Your binary or hexadecimal homework? Don't waste our time, please.

Answer 7

172,16,254,1

now give it to me in octal and hexadecimal.....

Answer 8

You've got this all wrong. There are 8 bits in a byte so here are your answers:

10101100= 1 byte

00010000= 1 byte

11111110= 1 byte

00000001= 1 byte

Don't forget if the last bit (on the right) is a 1 then it's an odd number.

Do you know how to convert bin to hex?

1010 1100 = 10dec  12dec = AC

Answer 9

That question really has no relationship with who is or isn't good with computers. Knowing binary values serves no purpose whatsoever when someone brings in a rig that wont fire up.  

Answer 10

I was going to say which one was which but you had an an answer and if you know do you need to find out when as someone said 'you can google it'

Answer 11

I'd say you're all wrong. Those numbers may mean 172, 16, 1, 254 in binary, but that doesn't necessarily mean "172 bytes". It just means "172" that could be bananas or square feet of carpet or feet of detal floss...

I believe the correct answers would be 1, 1, 1, and 1. Each of those strings is made up of 8 bits (a 1 or a 0) and those 8 bits together each equal 1 byte. It doesn't matter what that 1 byte is.

Dang. Mr. lci types faster than me ;)

And to the guy who said there are 1000 bytes in a kilobyte, well, THERE'S a question to pose to find out "who is good with computers". The answer is actually 1024.
