Convert the following from binary to decimal – SHOW YOUR WORK! 11000000111001.00111
Solution
Step by step process is
1) write down the binary number and list the power of 2 from right to left starting from 20.
2) write the digits of binary number to the corresponding powers of two.
3) Sum up the powers of two.
4) When we assign 2 powers to the digits after decimal point then assign negative powers.

First are left to the decimal points
1*2^13 + 1*2^12 +0* 2^11 + 0*2^10 +0* 2^9 + 0*2^8 +0*2^7 +0*2^6 +1*2^5+ 1*2^4 +1* 2^3+0*2^2+0*2^1+1*2^0
Now right to decimal points
0*2^-1+ 0*2^-2+ 1*2^-3+ 1*2^4 +12^-5
Now get the values and sum up
1) 1*2^13 + 1*2^12 +0* 2^11 + 0*2^10 +0* 2^9 + 0*2^8 +0*2^7 +0*2^6 +1*2^5+ 1*2^4 +1* 2^3+0*2^2+0*2^1+1*2^0
1*8192 + 1*4096 + 0 +0 +0+0+0+0 +32+16+8+0+0+1 = 12330
2) 0*2^-1+ 0*2^-2+ 1*2^-3+ 1*2^4 +1*2^-5
0+0+0.125+0.0625+0.03125 = 0.21875
So decimal conversion of given binary is 12330.21875
