hide explanation
lets count the number of 8 - bit groups in the binary sequence, by adding a space after every 8 bits:
10111001 11011011 01101001 00110101 01111111
there are 5 groups of 8 in the sequence, so it is 5 bytes long.
another way to calculate the number of bytes is to count the total number of bits and divide by 8. there are 40 bits total, and 40 divided by 8 is 5, so it is 5 bytes long.

how many bits are in 8 bytes of information?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the bit - byte relationship

1 byte = 8 bits.

Step2: Calculate the number of bits in 8 bytes

We use the formula: number of bits = number of bytes × 8. Substituting the number of bytes (8) into the formula, we get 8×8 = 64.

Answer:

64
