Question

Raul converts numbers in base 10 to base 2. Which answer best defends why Raul would need to do this?

Base 10 numbers cannot use 0 and 1 like the numbers in base 2 can.
Base 10 numbers are not able to handle negative numbers, but base 2 numbers are.
Base 10 numbers are used for calculations by people, but computers use base 2.
Base 10 numbers used by people cannot fit into the format of base 2 numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

All the calculation by computer is performed in base 2. Base 2 is also named as binary computation and it is used in all the computer and digital data processing processors.

Some differences between base 2 and base 10 are:

• Base 2 number system contains 0 and 1 whereas base 10 is from 0 to 9.
• Digital systems works on 0 and 1 logic i.e on and off logic. So we use digital system easily in binary domain whereas, decimal system has 0-9 levels and they are hard to be catered in digital domain.
• Base 10 is used in normal calculations for daily use and binary is only confined to digital domain.
