Using decimal values $9\mathrm{.}25$ and $2\mathrm{.}5$ as operands,

converting to binary,

and add them using the BINARY floating point addition algorithm,

$($normalizing to the higher exponent value$)$:

a$)$ What binary normalized significand value will be used to represent $9\mathrm{.}25$ when adding?

b$)$ What binary significand value will be used to represent $2\mathrm{.}5$ during the addition

$($after normalizing and adjusting the exponents to match the higher exponent value$)?$

c$)$ What will the binary sum of the significands be $($including the radix point$)?$

d$)$ What is the DECIMAL value of the exponent $($power of $2)$

that will be used with the sum of the significands?

e$)$ What bits will be stored in the $23-$bit significand $($mantissa$)$ part

of the $32-$bit IEEE representation of the final sum?
