Question 5
Consider the following representation of a number in IEEE 754 single-precision floating point format with a 
bias of 127.
        S : 1      E : 10000001      F : 11110000000000000000000

Here S, E and F denote the sign, exponent and fraction components of the floating point representation.
The decimal value corresponding to the above representation (rounded to 2 decimal places) is _______
A
-7.75
Question 5 Explanation: 

Sign bit S= 1. The given number is a negative number. 

Biased Exponent E = 27 + 1= 129 

Actual Exponent e = E-127 

= 129- 127

= 2

The decimal value= (-1)s x 1.M x 2e 

= (-1) 1 x 1.1111 x 22 

= – (111.11) 

= – (7 + 0.75) 

= -7.7

Correct Answer: A
Question 5 Explanation: 

Sign bit S= 1. The given number is a negative number. 

Biased Exponent E = 27 + 1= 129 

Actual Exponent e = E-127 

= 129- 127

= 2

The decimal value= (-1)s x 1.M x 2e 

= (-1) 1 x 1.1111 x 22 

= – (111.11) 

= – (7 + 0.75) 

= -7.7
