Final answer:

The hexadecimal value for the binary number 1100-1010 is CA, with C corresponding to the binary 1100 and A corresponding to the binary 1010.

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the hexadecimal value for the binary value 1100-1010 is performed by converting each four-bit nibble into its hexadecimal equivalent. Binary to hexadecimal conversion involves grouping binary digits in sets of four (nibbles), starting from the rightmost digit and moving to the left. The binary nibble 1100 corresponds to the hexadecimal digit C (12 in decimal), and the nibble 1010 corresponds to the hexadecimal digit A (10 in decimal).

To calculate the hexadecimal value, write down the corresponding hexadecimal digit for each nibble:

  1. The binary nibble 1100 is equivalent to C in hexadecimal.
  2. The binary nibble 1010 is equivalent to A in hexadecimal.

Therefore, the hexadecimal value for the binary number 1100-1010 is CA.
