In computers, a bit is a single 1 or 0. It's a contraction of "Binary Digit". In money, historically a bit was an eighth of a gold dollar. One way of making change was to cut the gold dollar up into eight wedges, each then worth 12.5 cents. That's why a quarter is called "two bits".

How do you calculate bit strings?
To calculate the decimal value of a bit string: Number the bits from right to left 0 - n. Starting with a decimal value of 0, add 2^(Number of that digit) for each 1 you see in your bit string. The sum is the decimal equivalent to the binary number.
What is the largest value you can represent using a 256 bit signed integer?

How many '1's are there in a 16 bit binary sequence?
In a 16 bit number there must be from zero to 16 '1'. If a bit does not have value zero then it has a value of 1. Nothing else can be represented by a bit. Example 0000 is a 4 bit number. Each bit is a zero. 1010 is also a four bit number. 0000111100001111 is a 16 bit number. 1100110011000001 is also a 16 bit number.
