Question 5

A digital signal processing unit accumulates three 8-bit unsigned binary readings from a pressure sensor during a calibration cycle. The three recorded values are:

0 1 1 0 0 1 1 00 0 1 0 1 1 0 1+ 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 \begin{array}{r} 0\ 1\ 1\ 0\ 0\ 1\ 1\ 0 \\ 0\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 1\ 1\ 0\ 1 \\ +\ 0\ 0\ 0\ 1\ 1\ 1\ 1\ 0 \\ \hline \\ \hline \end{array} 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 00 0 1 0 1 1 0 1+ 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0​​

Compute the sum of these three values using binary arithmetic. State your final accumulated value as an 8-bit binary number.
