Question: Consider a 16-bit floating point number with the following format: s (bit 15): 1 sign bit (1 for negative) e (bits 14 to 9): 6-bit

Consider a 16-bit floating point number with the following format: s (bit 15): 1 sign bit (1 for negative) e (bits 14 to 9): 6-bit exponent using 2's complement representation. f(bits 8 to 0): 9-bit fraction. The decimal equivalent is: (-1) 0.f x 2 where is the signed number decimal equivalent of e. What is the decimal equivalent of 1111110 011000000 (expressed using this format)? a. +0.75*263 b.-3/16 Oc. +3/16 O d.-3/32 e. None of the other choices
