52 For IEEE 754 singleprecision floating point write the hex

52. For IEEE 754 single-precision floating point, write the hexadecimal representation for the following decimal values:

(a) 27.1015625

(b) –1.0

(c) – 0.0

(d) 0.5

(e) 0.6

(f) 256.015625

Please show work in detail. I need to compare it to my solution to see if I am correct. I am getting mostly stuck on intrepreting as a hexidecimal.

Solution

a) 27.1015625 = 1B

b) -1.0 = FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

c) -0.0 = 0

d) 0.5 = 0

e) 0.6 = 0

f) 256.015625 = 100
