Question: We are creating a new 8 bit floating point binary number format. It will consist of a sign bit (0 positive, 1 negative), 3 bits
We are creating a new 8 bit floating point binary number format. It will consist of a sign bit (0 positive, 1 negative), 3 bits for the exponent, and 4 bits for the mantissa. We will be using a 3 offset for the exponent. Assume there is a leading 1 (to the left of the decimal point) for the mantissa. Convert 8A (hex) to floating point decimal format, show all work.
