In a(n) ______ numbering system, all numeric values are written as sequences of 0s and 1s.
- a. hexadecimal
- b. binary
- c. octal
- d. decimal
When a number sequence is represented using 0’s and 1’s is called as binary representation.
Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.
Explanation of Solution
Numbering system:
Numbering system is used to express numbers in different mathematical notations. There are different types of numbering system as shown below:
- Binary
- Hexadecimal
- Octal
Binary:
When numbers are represented in the form of 0’s and 1’s is called as binary number representation.
Explanation for incorrect options:
Hexadecimal:
Hexadecimal number system consists of 16 digits from 0 to 9 and from 10 to 15 is represented in the form of letters from A to F. The digits and letters used in the hexadecimal number system are referred to as base 16 characters.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
Octal:
When a number is represented using the base 8 is called as octal number system.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
Decimal:
When a number is represented using the base 10 is called as decimal number system.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

- (Conversion) Blood pressure is the force of blood circulating against the inner wall of blood vessels. It’s measured by two numbers: a systolic number that measures the pressure when the heart is contracting and a diastolic number that measures the pressure when the heart is resting. Both pressures are typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and given assystolic/diastolic numbers, such as 122/88. The National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute provides the following guidelines for normal and high blood pressure measurements. Complete the chart by converting the measurements to atm and psi units.arrow_forward18. Tom and Jerry opened a new lawn service. They provide three types of services: mowing, fertilizing, and planting trees. The cost of mowing is $35.00 per 5,000 square yards, fertilizing is $30.00 per application, and planting a tree is $50.00. Write an algorithm that prompts the user to enter the area of the lawn, the number of fertilizing applications, and the number of trees to be planted. The algorithm then determines the billing amount. (Assume that the user orders all three services.) (9)arrow_forwardneat and clean answer pleasearrow_forward
