Consider an 8-bit IEEE floating-point representation with: • 1 sign bit 3 exponent bits • 4 mantissa bits A. Fill in the blanks in the following table. Express numerical values as fractions (e.g., 277/512). Number 3/8 9/2 Bit representation 0 010 0101 1 000 1000 0 111 0010 B. Give the bit representation and numerical value of the largest number representable in this format as a denormalized floating-point number. C. Give the bit representation and numerical value of the largest number representable in this format as a normalized floating-point number.
