A telemetry unit on a weather balloon records two independent 8-bit unsigned binary readings representing atmospheric pressure offsets:
An onboard microprocessor must compute the combined pressure offset by adding these two 8-bit binary integers.
Complete the table below to show the resulting binary sum.
| MSB | LSB | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
