minifloat arithmetic

A= 1 0101 101 B = 0 0011 001

Binary to Decimal

A+B

Back to binary 1 0101 010

A-B

Back to binary = 1 0101 111

A*B

Back to binary 1 0001 110 Note with this question, if the exponent on A or B was 2 lower (say -4, -4) then the resulting exponent would be -8, add the bias and you cant represent -1 as an exponent so the problem wouldnt have a valid solution.

A/B

In binary 1 1001 110

pls add some explanation to each step trying to understand the concept
