When a bit is turned on, it represents a "1". When it is turned off, it represents a "0". The exact value depends on where the bit is within the byte it is part of.
In the binary number 0000 0001, the last bit is set to 1 and represents the number 1.
In the binary number 0000 0010, the second to last bit is set to 1, which corresponds to the "2's" place relative to decimal numbers.
In the binary number 0000 1000, the bit that is set to 1 represents the value "8" in decimal numbers.

Describe the range of numbers that can be represented by a 16 bit number using two complement?
A signed 16 bit number can represent the decimal numbers -32768 to 32767.
Can a positive number have the same binary code as a negative number?
No and Yes... No because as such the two numbers are different and convention will define what the bit pattern should represent. However, with 16 bits, the UNSIGNED bit pattern for 32768 is the same as the SIGNED pattern for -32768 BUT the two numbers are being represented in different ways (ie in different number systems). If the binary representation is a SIGNED number then the top bit will be set if it is negative and with 16 bits the possible range of numbers is -32768 to +32767 and so it is IMPOSSIBLE to represent +32768. With an UNSIGNED number of 16 bits the top bit has no such special meaning and the range possible is 0 to +65535, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to represent -32768. ie it is IMPOSSIBLE with 16 bits to represent -32768 and +32768 in the same number system as they have the same bit pattern, BUT in different number systems the bit pattern can be used to represent the two numbers as the different number systems cannot represent BOTH -32678 and +32768.
What is the largest positive number one can represent in an eight-bit two's complement code?
127.
The temperature was 68 degrees above zero( in Fahrenheit) today write a signed number to represent the temperature?
signed number for +68 in F. It can represent by 8 bit . one bit for its sign (+_) and other 7 its binray form of 68. which is 01000100 .
