Task 14

A two byte floating point number system uses 10 places for the mantissa and 6 for the exponent. Convert the number 0111101000000101 into decimal by filling in the following table.

This number is positive. i know that because:
the first digit is a 0

The mantissa(with the decimal place inserted):
0111101000

The exponant is 000101 which is positive because:
the most left digit is a 0

The denary equivalant of 000101 is
+3

The mantissa nw looks like this:
0111100000

Removing the redundant zeros the mantissa looks like:
1111.1

the final denary answer is:
30.5
