What is the largest positive number one can represent in an eight-bit 2’s complement code? write your result in binary and decimal.

The largest positive number one can represent in an eight-bit 2’s complement code is 01111111.

Explanation:

It is displayed as 01111111₂ in Binary.

To derive its decimal equivalent, we have to convert the binary code into decimal as follows:

01111111₂ = 0 × 2⁷+ 1 × 2 ⁶+ 1 × 2⁵ + 1 × 2⁴ + 1 × 2³ + 1 × 2² + 1 × 2¹ + 1 × 2⁰

             = 0 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1

            = 127

Therefore, the decimal equivalent is 127.

given the lack of choices, i'm gonna wing it and say that pushing your car off a cliff might not be the best idea. your car might sustain damage from the fall and will probably result in the car being too damaged to jump start.

if that's not good enough, avoid filling the car with bees. bees might get agitated when trapped or during the moving process, and might result in death or painful stings that will make jump starting your car very difficult. but in the event that you do choose to fill your car with bees, remember to wear protective gear!
