Task 18

a 2 byte floating point numbering system uses 10 places for the mantissa and 6 places for the exponant. Convert the number 2.75 into a normalised floating number using the following table to guide.

Converting 2.75 into a fixed point number gives me:
10.11

The mantissa(with the decimal place inserted) is 10 digits long and nums begin with 0.1. The mantissa is:
0.101100000

To get the mantissa back to the original fixed point number, the decimal place must be moved:
2 places to the right.

The exponant, which is 6 digits long will be :
000010

Putting the mantissa and the exponant together, the final answer is:
0101100000000010
