-625.625
Explanation:
--------------
Hexadecimal Binary
0 0000
1 0001
2 0010
3 0011
4 0100
5 0101
6 0110
7 0111
8 1000
9 1001
A 1010
B 1011
C 1100
D 1101
E 1110
F 1111
Use this table to convert from hexadecimal to binary
Converting C41C6800 to binary
C => 1100
4 => 0100
1 => 0001
C => 1100
6 => 0110
8 => 1000
0 => 0000
0 => 0000
So, in binary C41C6800 is 11000100000111000110100000000000
1 10001000 00111000110100000000000
sign bit is 1(-ve)
exp bits are 10001000
=> 10001000
=> 1x2^7+0x2^6+0x2^5+0x2^4+1x2^3+0x2^2+0x2^1+0x2^0
=> 1x128+0x64+0x32+0x16+1x8+0x4+0x2+0x1
=> 128+0+0+0+8+0+0+0
=> 136
in decimal it is 136
so, exponent/bias is 136-127 = 9
frac bits are 001110001101
IEEE-754 Decimal value is 1.frac * 2^exponent
IEEE-754 Decimal value is 1.001110001101 * 2^9
1.001110001101 in decimal is 1.221923828125
=> 1.001110001101
=> 1x2^0+0x2^-1+0x2^-2+1x2^-3+1x2^-4+1x2^-5+0x2^-6+0x2^-7+0x2^-8+1x2^-9+1x2^-10+0x2^-11+1x2^-12
=> 1x1+0x0.5+0x0.25+1x0.125+1x0.0625+1x0.03125+0x0.015625+0x0.0078125+0x0.00390625+1x0.001953125+1x0.0009765625+0x0.00048828125+1x0.000244140625
=> 1+0.0+0.0+0.125+0.0625+0.03125+0.0+0.0+0.0+0.001953125+0.0009765625+0.0+0.000244140625
=> 1.221923828125
so, 1.221923828125 * 2^9 in decimal is 625.625
so, 11000100000111000110100000000000 in IEEE-754 single precision format is -625.625
Answer: -625.625
