Assume we are using the simple model for floating-point representation as given in this book (the representation uses a 14-bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with a bias of 15, a normalized mantissa of 8 bits, and a single sign bit for the number): a) Show how the computer would represent the numbers 100.0 and 0.25 using this floating-point format. b) Show how the computer would add the two floating-point numbers in part a by changing one of the numbers so they are both expressed using the same power of 2. c) Show how the computer would represent the sum in part b using the given floating point representation. What decimal value for the sum is the computer actually storing?

a.1) 100.0 = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

a.2) 0.25 = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

b) Adding part a) we get _________________ x 27

c) The sum from part b) in the given floating point notation is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

which is equal to ____ _____(base 10)
