Math Problem Statement

Convert the decimal numbers 4.344 and 5.511 to their binary equivalents.

Solution

The image you provided contains two decimal numbers: 4.344 and 5.511. It seems like the task is related to converting these decimal numbers to their binary equivalents. Here's how you can convert each of these decimal numbers to binary:

Step-by-Step Conversion

1. Convert the integer part to binary:

  • For 4: 4÷2=2 remainder 04 \div 2 = 2 \text{ remainder } 0 2÷2=1 remainder 02 \div 2 = 1 \text{ remainder } 0 1÷2=0 remainder 11 \div 2 = 0 \text{ remainder } 1 So, 4 in binary is 100.

  • For 5: 5÷2=2 remainder 15 \div 2 = 2 \text{ remainder } 1 2÷2=1 remainder 02 \div 2 = 1 \text{ remainder } 0 1÷2=0 remainder 11 \div 2 = 0 \text{ remainder } 1 So, 5 in binary is 101.

2. Convert the fractional part to binary:

  • For 0.344: Multiply by 2 and take the integer part each time: 0.344×2=0.688(integer part =0)0.344 \times 2 = 0.688 \quad (\text{integer part } = 0) 0.688×2=1.376(integer part =1)0.688 \times 2 = 1.376 \quad (\text{integer part } = 1) 0.376×2=0.752(integer part =0)0.376 \times 2 = 0.752 \quad (\text{integer part } = 0) Continue this until you have the desired precision. The binary fractional part starts as 0.01011...

  • For 0.511: Multiply by 2 and take the integer part each time: 0.511×2=1.022(integer part =1)0.511 \times 2 = 1.022 \quad (\text{integer part } = 1) 0.022×2=0.044(integer part =0)0.022 \times 2 = 0.044 \quad (\text{integer part } = 0) 0.044×2=0.088(integer part =0)0.044 \times 2 = 0.088 \quad (\text{integer part } = 0) Continue this until you have the desired precision. The binary fractional part starts as 0.100...

Final Binary Representation:

  • 4.344100.01011...
  • 5.511101.100...

Tip:

When converting decimal fractions to binary, the process is iterative and can result in repeating binary digits. It’s often helpful to set a limit on the number of binary places for practical use.
