You are working on a project to build a temperature control system for an industrial machine. The machine should only operate between positive 20-150 Fahrenheit, but we need to show the operator the temp range negative 20 through positive 300. 1. What level of numeric precision can we get using only a single byte of memory? 2. Using the same project as question #1. What binary number would represent positive 20 degrees?
