In your own words, explain the process of converting binary to decimal.

When looking at the 1s and 0s I would start ordering the value of 2 to the power of 0 and so on until I reach how many values of binary I'm converting. Then I calculate the values and multiply by the 1s and 0s; add them all together to get my decimal value.

In your own words, explain the process of converting hexadecimal to decimal.

First off, when I begin converting hexadecimal to decimal I write out the comparisons starting at 0 to 15. Then I write out the 0 to F just so I can see it visually. Then I write out the 16 to the power of 0 starting at the one's place, then 16 to the power 1 for the tens, 16 to the power of 2 for the hundreds, and so on. Then I calculate by converting any letter characters to their number counterparts and find the total in decimal notation.

Did you notice any patterns with the "Float Toy" section?

I noticed that switching the leftmost 0 to a 1 significantly dropped the value of the number. Switching the 1s and 0s in the red effected the number less. The green makes the number much larger.
