Consider the following bit pattern represents he floating point number in IEEE 754 single precision format :

1 10000111 11100000000000000000000

What is the value in Base-10 represented by above floating point number ?

ok, but please type the questions instead of screenshots otherwise finding duplicates going to be tough !

 Sign bit Exponent (Biased) Mantissa (Normalized) 1 10000111 11100000000000000000000

Biased Exponent = $2^{n-1}-1$ = $2^{8-1}-1$ = 127

Number = $-1^{sign bit}$*1.M* $2^{Exponent-Biased Exponent}$

=> -1*1.11100000000000000000000*$2^{135-127}$

=>-1.11100000000000000000000*$2^8$

=>-111100000.000000000000000

=>(-480)$_{10}$
