Item 3

a) To convert the decimal number 18 into its binary equivalent:

  1. Divide 18 by 2.

    18÷2=9 remainder 018 \div 2 = 9 \text{ remainder } 0
  2. Divide 9 by 2.

    9÷2=4 remainder 19 \div 2 = 4 \text{ remainder } 1
  3. Divide 4 by 2.

    4÷2=2 remainder 04 \div 2 = 2 \text{ remainder } 0
  4. Divide 2 by 2.

    2÷2=1 remainder 02 \div 2 = 1 \text{ remainder } 0
  5. Divide 1 by 2.

    1÷2=0 remainder 11 \div 2 = 0 \text{ remainder } 1

    Reading the remainders from bottom to top gives the binary equivalent.
    Binary: 100102\boxed{\text{10010}_2}

    b) To convert the binary number 10101210101_2 into its decimal equivalent:

  6. Write out the binary number and assign powers of 2 to each digit, starting from 202^0 for the rightmost digit.

    1×24+0×23+1×22+0×21+1×201 \times 2^4 + 0 \times 2^3 + 1 \times 2^2 + 0 \times 2^1 + 1 \times 2^0
  7. Calculate the value of each term.

    1×16+0×8+1×4+0×2+1×11 \times 16 + 0 \times 8 + 1 \times 4 + 0 \times 2 + 1 \times 1
  8. Sum the results.

    16+0+4+0+1=2116 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 21

    Decimal: 2110\boxed{21_{10}}

    Item 4
    Three formatting features available in a word processor like Microsoft Word are:
