A one-byte floating point numbering system uses 5 places for the mantissa and 3 for the exponent. Convert the number 01100011 into decimal by filling in the following table :
Step 1 : I know this because the left most bit is 0
Step 2 : Mantissa : 0.1100
Step 3 : It starts out with a 0.
Step 4 : 011 = 3 in Denary
Step 5 : The deimal place must be moved 3 places to the right.
Step 6 : Mantissa : 0110.0
Step 7 : New Mantissa :110
Step 8 : Final Number : 6
