#### Explanation

To convert the binary number 1110 1011 to a decimal number:

1. **Write down the powers of 2** from right to left:
   ```
   2^7  2^6  2^5  2^4  2^3  2^2  2^1  2^0
   ```

2. **Assign the binary digits** to these positions (1110 1011):
   ```
   1    1    1    0    1    0    1    1
   ```

3. **Calculate the value** for each bit where there is a 1:
   - \(1 \times 2^7 = 128\)
   - \(1 \times 2^6 = 64\)
   - \(1 \times 2^5 = 32\)
   - \(0 \times 2^4 = 0\)
   - \(1 \times 2^3 = 8\)
   - \(0 \times 2^2 = 0\)
   - \(1 \times 2^1 = 2\)
   - \(1 \times 2^0 = 1\)
   
4. **Add the values** together:
   ```
   128 + 64 + 32 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 235
   ```

So, the decimal equivalent of the binary number 1110 1011 is **235**.
