LANGUAGE IS PYTHON!!! PLEASE HELP The Fast Freight Shipping Company charges the following rates:

Weight of Package

Rate per 500 miles Shipped

2 pounds or less

$1.10

Over 2 pounds but not more than 6 pounds

$2.20

Over 6 pounds but not more than 10 pounds

$3.70

Over 10 pounds

$3.80

The shipping charges per 500 miles are not prorated, which means that we don't divide the shipping charges in the above table by 500 to get the shipping charge per mile. For example, if a 2.5-pound package shipped 550 miles, the charges would be $4.40.

Design an algorithm and write a Python program to ask the user to enter the weight of the package, the number of miles shipped, then calculate and display the shipping charges.

Assignment Example:
Weight 1.7 pounds, miles 430 miles, total shipping charges: 1.10
Weight 1.7 pounds, miles 775 miles, total shipping charges: 2.20 ( 1.10 * 2). The key point here is how to get the 2 in the multiplication
Weight 1.7 pounds, miles 1234 miles, total shipping charges: 3.30 (1.10 * 3).
Weight 8 pounds, miles 6290 miles, total shipping charges: 3.70 * 13 = 48.10
Problem Analysis:
2 input: the weight, the miles (both could be decimal values)
Based on the weight, you can use a if-else if decision structure to check which shipping rate you use in the calculation (use the shipping rate in the table)
based on the miles the packages shipped, you calculate how many 500 miles the package is shipped. It determines the number times the shipping rate need to multiple. Sometimes you need to round it up to the next integer, sometime not. You need to figure out when the miles/500 should be rounded up to the next integer, and when it should not.
The program will display the total shipping charges for the package.

3. (6 pts) internally in the computer, with few exceptions, all numerical computation is done using binary numbers. output, however, often uses ascii, which is formed by appending 011 to the left of a bcd code. thus, an algorithm that directly converts a binary integer to a bcd integer is very useful. here is one such algorithm 1) draw lines to the left of the binary number to bound the expected bcd decades. (each decade is a group of 4 bits.) move the binary number one bit to the left. add 0011 to each bcd decade containing a binary value> 0100 repeat steps 2-3 until the last bit in the binary number has been moved into the least significant decade position. (note that when the last bit has been shifted into bcd decade, step 3 is not repeated.) read the bcd result. 2) 3) 4) 5) a) execute the algorithm for the binary number 1101101 b) execute the algorithm for the binary number 01110101110 4. (4 pts) represent the decimal number 3568 in bcd; excess-3 code; ascil; and hex.
