Question

ASCII Code

Question 13: What character is the hexadecimal ASCII code 23?

Question 14: What character is the hexadecimal ASCII code 4A?

Question 15: What character is the hexadecimal ASCII code 6A?

Part 4: Converting numbers to binary (20 points)

Question 16: For each scenario determine if the numbers should be stored as ASCII codes or binary equivalents. Then find the ASCII code or calculate the binary equivalent.

Scenario	ASCII code	Binary equivalent
The course number: 107
The year: 2001
The number of printers in inventory: 62
The weight of a suitcase when it is checked in at the airport: 24

Question 17: Explain your reason for each of the choices in the previous question.

Scenario	Binary equivalent
The course number: 107
The year: 2001
The number of printers in inventory: 62
The weight of a suitcase when it is checked in at the airport: 24

Answer 1

Answer 2

Question 13: The hexadecimal ASCII code 23 represents the character "#".

Question 14: The hexadecimal ASCII code 4A represents the character "J".

Question 15: The hexadecimal ASCII code 6A represents the character "j".

Question 16:

• The course number: 107 - Should be stored as a binary equivalent: 01101011

• The year: 2001 - Should be stored as a binary equivalent: 11111010001

• The number of printers in inventory: 62 - Should be stored as a binary equivalent: 00111110

• The weight of a suitcase when it is checked in at the airport: 24 - Should be stored as a binary equivalent: 00011000

Question 17:

• The course number: 107 - Since the course number is a numerical value, it should be stored as a binary equivalent.

• The year: 2001 - The year is a numerical value, and it is represented in decimal format. It should be converted to a binary equivalent for storage.

• The number of printers in inventory: 62 - Since the number of printers is a numerical value, it should be stored as a binary equivalent.

• The weight of a suitcase when it is checked in at the airport: 24 - Since the weight of the suitcase is a numerical value, it should be stored as a binary equivalent.
