Why is it more difficult to convert decimal to hexadecimal?
As compared to converting decimal into what other base! It is no more difficult to convert decimal into base 8 than decimal into binary or Hex.
What kind of decimal indicates a rational number?
A terminating decimal or a decimal that, after a finite number of digits, settles into a repeating pattern (known as a recurring decimal). This need not happen straight after the decimal point.
What happens to the decimal in an subtraction problem?
You bring it straight down.
Where should a decimal point be placed in the answer of addition and subtraction problems?
Where the decimal is placed you just have to bring it straight down.
Which decimal is larger 0.10 or 0.01?
.10-that would be like a dime compared to a penny.
How can divide by decimal point?
Bring the decimal straight up then divide
What does the digital signal 1111 mean in human code?
Depends on the encoding. It is probably 0xF (15), but it could be -1 (if 4 bits in 2's complement), or any other value if a non-standard encoding. the coding can be octal or hexadecimal the value in decimal does not change in octal it is 17 in hexadecimal it is F in decimal is 15. ALL of these numbers are right it depends of what code the reference is to

What is that EBCDIC?
EBCDIC is Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code. It was the character encoding scheme developed and used by IBM. EBCDIC is completely overshadowed by ASCII and ASCII's big brother, Unicode. EBCDIC is very difficult to use, as the alphabet is non-contiguous and the encoding makes no logical sense.

How do you add decimals to thousandths?
You line up the decimals with the thousandths and put the decimal straight down from where it is and just add with the decimal in the same spot.
What is the main advantage of binary coded decimal?
Binary coded decimal (BCD) is easier to convert between displayed or printed form than is pure binary.
How can you explain how to divide 3.2 by 8?
Add extra zeros if needed to the dividend 3.2 Pretend there is no decimal and divide. Bring the decimal straight up.
