In most microcomputers the addresses of memory locations are specified in hexadecimal. These addresses are sequential numbers th

at identify each memory circuit.
(a) A particular microcomputer can store an 8 bit number in each memory location. If the memory addresses range from 000016 to FF17F16, how many memory locations are there?
(b) Another microcomputer is specified to have 4096 memory locations. What range of hex addresses does this computer use?

Considering that the addresses of memory locations are specified in hexadecimal.

a) The number of memory locations in a memory address range ( 0000₁₆ to FFFF₁₆ )  = 65536 memory locations

b) The range of hex addresses in a microcomputer with 4096 memory locations is ;  4095

<u>applying the given data </u>:

a) first step : convert FFFF₁₆ to decimal           ( note F₁₆ = 15 decimal )

( F * 16^3 ) + ( F * 16^2 ) + ( F * 16^1 ) + ( F * 16^0 )

= ( 15 * 16^3 ) + ( 15 * 16^2 ) + ( 15 * 16^1 ) + ( 15 * 1 )

=  61440 + 3840 + 240 + 15 = 65535

∴ the memory locations from  0000₁₆ to FFFF₁₆ = from 0 to 65535 = 65536 locations

b) The range of hex addresses with a memory location of 4096

= 0000₁₆ to FFFF₁₆ =  0 to 4096

∴ the range = 4095

Hence we can conclude that the memory locations in ( a ) = 65536 while the range of hex addresses with a memory location of 4096 = 4095.

How to know what number is a rational number?
Art [367]

Answer:

A rational number is a number that can be made by dividing two integers (an integer is a number with no fractional part).  The word rational includes the word "ratio." Rational numbers are basically numbers, either positive or negative that you get by dividing 2 numbers. Any number is a rational number, even fractions and decimals, except pi due to the fact that it's a irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of rational numbers include, 1, which you get by dividing 1 by 1, 2 which you get by dividing 2 by 1 and 2.12, which you get by dividing 212 by 100.
