-16510
- 1 6 5

1011 0011 0010 0101

- 16510 = 1011 0011 0010 0101bcd

Find the ones compliment of 111101002

This gives 000010112
Add 1
This gives 000011002
Find the decimal equivalent
This Gives 1210
Therefore in twos compliment
111101002 = -1210
since the number started with a 1

Convert Hex to binary

4116 = 010000012
Convert binary to decimal
010000012 = 6510
Since A = 6510 Then E = 6910
Therefore the binary representation of the ASCII code for E
= 010001012
