Answer 1

Answer:

Decimal value is 99

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 01100011 to decimal, we use the zero index method by counting from the last digit

0 = 7

1 = 6

1 = 5

0 = 4

0 = 3

0 = 2

1 = 1

1 = 0

Then we proceed by multiplying the binary digits by 2 and raising them to the power of their zero-index equivalent

(0*2^7) + (1*2^6) + (1*2^5) + (0*2^4) + (0*2^3) + (0*2^2) + (1*2^1) + (1*2^0)

  =(0*128) + (1*64) + (1*32) + (0*16) + (0*8) + (0*4) + (1*2) + (1*1)

      =0 + 64 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1

         = 64 + 32 +3

             =99
