Why octal number system is used?
You're aware that some computers have 32-bit words. Some of them, in contrast, have 60-bit words. It's difficult for human beings to read binary numbers. However, 3 divides 60 equally; therefore, a 60-bit word is capable of storing 20 3-bit octal numbers which, with practice, are not too hard to read.
How do you divide the word orbit into syllables?

What is another word for a binary digit?

How much butter should i substitute for 1 and a half cup shortening?
Yeah you can. Because you can replace oils for oils and fats for fats, and shortening is both, you can use butter as it is a fat. But since butter has about 15% water, you would have to use a tiny bit less butter or a tiny bit more of dry ingredients. :)

That is not a word in English, but it could be a sentence if you change the words a bit. Ask who even told you the word in English to say it again and see if there are pauses and if they are then there seprate words.
Why the computer start with 8 bit?
It didn't, early computers had a very wide range of word and character sizes many machines were decimal so their word/character sizes were defined in decimal digits not binary bits. Even microprocessors the first commercial microprocessor the Intel 4004 was a 4 bit not 8 bit machine. The 8 bit byte as a standard only originated in 1964 with the IBM System/360.Some examples of different computers of the past:ABC: 50 bit binary words; no characters.ENIAC: 10 digit decimal words; no characters.IAS: 40 bit binary words; no characters.UNIVAC 1: 12 character/digit decimal words; 1 digit characters.IBM 701: 36/18 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 702: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.UNIVAC 1101: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 650: 10 digit decimal words; 2 digit characters.IBM 704: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.UNIVAC 1103: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 705: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.IBM 709: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 7090: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 1620: variable length decimal words; 2 digit characters.IBM 1401: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.DEC PDP-1: 18 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 7030: 64 bit binary words, variable length character/byte strings; variable length (4 to 8 bits) characters/bytes.CDC 6600: 60 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.DEC PDP-8: 12 bit binary words; 6 or 8 bit characters.IBM System/360: 32 bit binary words, variable (up to 32 digits) length decimal words; 8 bit characters/bytes.DEC PDP-10: 36 bit binary words; variable length (1 to 36 bits) characters.UNIVAC 1110: 36 bit binary words; 6 or 9 bit characters/bytes.etc.
You are making tea biscuits and it asks for shortening what can you use?
Any solid shortening will work. The finished product will vary a little bit in flavor, but should be acceptable. For tea biscuits, I would use butter or margarine for flavor. Crisco or other vegetable shortening will work but I would stay away from animal fats.

The word 'model' in scientific terms mean a diagram or some sort of picture with words pointing out what bit means which.
