🔍 Key Concepts

• Digital encoding of decimal numbers in electronics and navigation equipment • How digits 0–9 can be represented using binary (0s and 1s) • Common meaning of the acronym BCD in technical and maritime electronics contexts

💭 Think About

• Consider which option describes a way of representing decimal numbers using binary digits. • Ask yourself: which term is widely used in electronics, computers, and digital readouts on navigation equipment? • Eliminate any choices that sound made‑up or are not standard technical terms in electronics or navigation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Does the option clearly connect binary with decimal digits (0–9)? • Is the phrase a recognized electronics/computing term, not just words strung together? • Would this encoding reasonably be used for digital displays (e.g., numeric readouts on maritime equipment)?
