0 * 2^0 = 0

1 * 2^1 = 2

0 * 2^2 = 0

1 * 2^3 = 8

1 * 2^4 = 16

0 * 2^5 = 0

1 * 2^6 = 64

1 * 2^7 = 128

1 * 2^8 = 256

0 * 2^9 = 0

1 * 2^10 = 1024

1 * 2^11 = 2048

Summing these values: 0 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 16 + 0 + 64 + 128 + 256 + 0 + 1024 + 2048 = 3546. Therefore, 101111011010 in binary is equal to 3546 in decimal.
