The binary number 00000110 represents the number 6 in decimal notation. Here's how to convert it:
First, we need to understand how the binary number system works. In the binary system, we only have two digits: 0 and 1. Each digit in a binary number represents a power of 2. Starting from the right, the first digit represents 2^0 (which is 1), the second digit represents 2^1 (which is 2), the third digit represents 2^2 (which is 4), and so on. To convert a binary number to decimal, we simply add up the values of each digit.
In the case of 00000110, the last two digits are both 0, so they don't contribute anything to the value of the number. The third digit from the right is a 1, which represents 2^2 (or 4). The fourth digit from the right is also a 1, which represents 2^3 (or 8). All the remaining digits are 0, so they don't contribute anything to the value of the number.
Adding up the values of the digits that do contribute, we get:
4 + 8 = 12
Therefore, the decimal equivalent of 00000110 is 6. Answer choice C is correct.
