Answer #1
0 10000001 11001100000000000000000
sign bit is 0(+ve)
exp bits are 10000001 => in decimal it is 129
so, exponent/bias is 129-127 = 2
frac bits are 110011

Decimal value is 1.110011 * 2^2 => 111.0011
111.0011 in decimal is 7.1875

so, 0 10000001 11001100000000000000000 in IEEE-754 single precision format is 7.1875
