Assume we are using the simple model for floating-point representation as given in the text ( the representation uses a 14-bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with a bias of 16, a normaliezed mantissa of 8 bits and a single sign bit for the number);

1. Show how the computer would represent the numbers 100.0 and 0.25 using this floating-point format

2. Show how the computer would add the two floating-point numbers in part a by changing one of the numbers so they are both expressed using the same power of 2

3. Show thow the computer would represent the sum in part b using the given floatiing-poing representation. What decimal value for the sum is the computer accually storing. explain
