Answer:
10.625
Explanation:
The given binary single precision floating point number in IEEE 754 format is:
01000001001010100000000000000000
Dividing it into respective components:
Here sign bit (1 bit): 0
Exponent ( 8 bit) : 10000010
Mantissa (23 bit) : 01010100000000000000000
The exponent corresponds to 1 (if we add 127 to the given binary value)
The mantissa corresponds to 1.0625 ( on appending 1)
So the overall number is 1.0625 * 10 ^1 = 10.625
