0.625
Explanation
Conversion Logic
In the binary system, the positions to the right of the point represent:
-
1st place: 2−1=21=0.5
-
2nd place: 2−2=41=0.25
-
3rd place: 2−3=81=0.125
Calculation
For the binary number (0.101)2:
-
The first digit after the point is 1:
1×2−1=1×0.5=0.5 -
The second digit after the point is 0:
0×2−2=0×0.25=0 -
The third digit after the point is 1:
1×2−3=1×0.125=0.125 -
Sum the values:
Decimal=0.5+0+0.125=0.625
