Floating Point Numbers Representation

1. Consider the decimal number 15.75. How can we convert this entire number (both the integer and fractional parts) to binary?

a: Repeated multiplication to convert the fractional part (0.75). b: Repeated division to convert the integer part (15) c: Repeated division to convert the integer part (15), Repeated multiplication to convert the fractional part (0.75) and then combine both parts. d: None of the aobve

2. In 32 bit IEEE Format Floating Point the Sign bit equals

a: 1 when the number is negative and is 0 when the number is positive. b: 0 when the number is negative and is 1 when the number is positive. c: 0 when the number is negative and is 0 when the number is positive. d: All of the above
