Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Data Representation (Section 7 - No. 25)
Which of the following scenarios would best demonstrate the application of binary representation?
Representing the color of a pixel in an image.
Storing the value of a student's grade.
Representing the quantity of items in a shop.
