Question 7

The decimal value 0.5 in IEEE single precision floating point representation has

A
fraction bits of 000…000 and exponent value of 0
B
fraction bits of 000…000 and exponent value of −1
C
fraction bits of 100…000 and exponent value of 0
D
no exact representation
Question 7 Explanation: 
(0.5)10 = (1.0)2 × 2–1
So, value of the exponent = -1
and
fraction is 000…000 (Implicit representation)
