Question

If the hexadecimal number FFFF1048 is a memory address value for a RAM memory location, how many bits long is the memory address value?

24
64
32

Answer 1

• 
  `\green{ \huge{ \bf{32}}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

A hexadecimal number like "FFFF1048" represents a memory address.

To determine how many bits long this memory address value is, you can count the number of hexadecimal digits and then multiply by 4 because each hexadecimal digit corresponds to 4 bits.

In "FFFF1048," there are 8 hexadecimal digits. So, to find the number of bits:

8 digits * 4 bits/digit = 32 bits

Therefore, the memory address value "FFFF1048" is 32 bits long.
