Explanation / Answer

Hi, my friend here is the naswer for your question PLEASE RATE *Unsigned binary number: 11111 ---> decimal = 31 we find this by raising 2 to the power of the location i.e 2^0 + 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^4=31 *Signed binary number (using the sign/magnitude notation): 11111 with the sign magnitude the most significant bit is the sign 1 minus 0 positive so here 2^0+2^1+2^2+2^3=1+2+4+8=15 Does the computer know the meaning of a binary string like “11111” and how to determine the meaning of a binary string Know the computer doesn`t know the meaning of the string but he converts it to electric signals eg; 2v 0 / 5v 1 so he enter it to circuit to encode the signal and c what it means
