Math Problem Statement

1101₂ - □₂ = 1010₂

Solution

The image shows a binary subtraction problem:

1101twotwo=1010two1101_{\text{two}} - \Box_{\text{two}} = 1010_{\text{two}}

To solve for the missing value in the box, follow these steps:

  1. Convert the given binary numbers to decimal:

    • 1101two1101_{\text{two}} in decimal is 1×23+1×22+0×21+1×20=8+4+0+1=13ten1 \times 2^3 + 1 \times 2^2 + 0 \times 2^1 + 1 \times 2^0 = 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 13_{\text{ten}}
    • 1010two1010_{\text{two}} in decimal is 1×23+0×22+1×21+0×20=8+0+2+0=10ten1 \times 2^3 + 0 \times 2^2 + 1 \times 2^1 + 0 \times 2^0 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 10_{\text{ten}}
  2. Subtract the decimal equivalent of 1010two1010_{\text{two}} from 1101two1101_{\text{two}}: 13ten10ten=3ten13_{\text{ten}} - 10_{\text{ten}} = 3_{\text{ten}}

  3. Convert the result 3ten3_{\text{ten}} back to binary: 3ten=11two3_{\text{ten}} = 11_{\text{two}}

So, the missing value in the box is 11two11_{\text{two}}.

Thus, the complete equation is:

1101two11two=1010two1101_{\text{two}} - 11_{\text{two}} = 1010_{\text{two}}
