What determines the size of a word in a CPU?

The number of kilobytes

The number of megabytes

The number of bits it can manipulate at one time

The number of bytes in a kilobyte

Answer explanation

The size of a word in a CPU is determined by the number of bits it can manipulate at one time. The word size determines the maximum amount of data that the CPU can process in a single operation, and it can vary depending on the architecture and design of the CPU. A larger word size generally allows for more efficient and faster processing of data.

2

5

10

15

Answer explanation

The binary number 1010 represents the decimal value 10. In binary, each digit represents a power of 2, so the calculation is as follows: 1 2^3 + 0 2^2 + 1 2^1 + 0 2^0 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 10.

What is the hexadecimal representation of the decimal number 27?

1B

21

2C

31

Answer explanation

The decimal number 27 can be represented as 1B in hexadecimal. In hexadecimal, the digits range from 0 to F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, and so on. To convert 27 to hexadecimal, divide it by 16: 27 / 16 = 1 remainder 11. The remainder 11 corresponds to the letter B, giving us the hexadecimal representation 1B.

What is the binary representation of the hexadecimal number 3D?

1101

0011

1010

1111

Answer explanation

The hexadecimal number 3D can be represented as 1101 in binary. Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to a group of 4 binary digits (bits). In this case, 3 is equivalent to 0011, and D is equivalent to 1101. Combining the two, we get the binary representation 1101.
