What is the hexadecimal equivalent of the 8-bit binary number 11011010_2?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. DA
- Step 1: Split the 8-bit binary number into two 4-bit nibbles: 1101 and 1010. Step 2. Convert each nibble: 1101_2 = 13_10 = D_16, and 1010_2 = 10_10 = A_16. Combining them yields DA_16. Answer: DA. Why not the others: DB corresponds to binary 11011011; CB corresponds to binary 11001011; CA corresponds to binary 11001010.
