001001011
110001111

3. Normalise the following numbers, which are held with a 10-bit mantissa and
6-bit exponent

0 000000110 000111
0 000010111 000110
1 111110111 000000
1 111111010 000011

4. the binary number 1010 1011 0111 can be represented in a number of different
ways

a. State its hexadecimal form
b. State its value in denary if it represents

(i) an unsigned binary digit
(ii) a twos complement floating point number with an eight bit mantissa
