The addition of the binary numbers 11011011010 and 010100101 results in the binary number 10011010011, corresponding to answer option d).
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question about the addition of binary numbers involves adding 11011011010 and 010100101. To add these two binary numbers, align them properly and then add each column starting from the rightmost digit, carrying over as you would in decimal addition. The carry-over in binary addition works in the same way as in decimal addition, but since we are in base 2, a carry-over happens when the sum of a column is 2 (10 in binary) or 3 (11 in binary). Below is the step-by-step addition:
-
11011011010
- +
0010100101
- ------------
- =
10011010011
The correct answer is d) 10011010011.
