Final answer:
To find the decimal number represented by a bit pattern, convert the bit pattern to base 10 by adding the powers of 2 for each 1 bit and ignoring the 0 bits.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given question is asking for the decimal number represented by a bit pattern. To find the decimal number, we need to convert the bit pattern to base 10. Each bit represents a power of 2 starting from the rightmost bit. If the bit is 1, we add the corresponding power of 2 to the decimal number. If the bit is 0, we don't add anything. For example, if the bit pattern is 1010, the decimal number is 10 (2^3 + 2^1 = 8 + 2).
