1. Convert the decimal number 53 to binary.
Solution: For converting any decimal number to binary, we divide the given number by 2 and keep dividing until we are left with 1. As shown below:
2. Convert the binary number 110011101 to decimal.
Solution: For converting the binary number 110011101, we expand this using 2 multiply with the given digit where 2 is given the power of the remaining digits, that is, total digits minus 1 and we repeat this until the power reaches 0. As shown below:
3. The average expenditure of a man for the first five months of a year is 5000/- for the next seven months it is 5400/-. If he saves 2300/- during the year, find his average monthly income.
Solution: First we will find the total income. For this, we will apply the arithmetic mean formula for each average expenditure and calculate the total expenditure for the first 5 months, then for the next 7 months.
For calculating average income, we will divide the total income by the number of months in a year. As shown below:
