Answer 1

Answer:

• A. divide the decimal number by the base value 2

• C. note the remainder separately

• D. divide by 2 until she gets 0 as the remainder

• B. collect the digits in the reverse order

Explanation:

When we want to convert decimal number to a binary number first we have divide the given number by 2. The next step is to note the reminder of the number in the side every division so that the reminder value is the binary value. Repeat this until an zero is encountered.

We have to collate all the remainders from last of first and then the collated number is the answer for the given problem.

So the given option can be ordered as,

• A
• C
• D
