101011110000 is a binary number. In binary, each digit represents a power of two. The number is read from right to left, with the rightmost digit representing 2^0 (which is 1), the next digit to the left representing 2^1 (which is 2), and so on.

To convert 101011110000 to decimal, we multiply each digit by its corresponding power of two and sum the results.

Starting from the rightmost digit:

0 * 2^0 = 0

0 * 2^1 = 0

0 * 2^2 = 0

0 * 2^3 = 0

1 * 2^4 = 16

1 * 2^5 = 32

1 * 2^6 = 64

1 * 2^7 = 128

0 * 2^8 = 0

1 * 2^9 = 512

0 * 2^10 = 0

1 * 2^11 = 2048

Summing these values: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 + 0 + 512 + 0 + 2048 = 2800.

Therefore, the binary number 101011110000 is equivalent to the decimal number 2800.
