In our base ten number system each place value increases by a power of ten. 10^2 + 10^1 + 10^0 = 100 + 10 + 1 = 111
In the binary number system each place value increases by a power of two. Since your number only has ones in the first three place values. You would skip place values that have zeros.
2^2 + 2^1 + 2^0 = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7
I hope this is helpful.
