Question

For this problem, assume 3 bits precision. Add two binary numbers, 1.01 two x 2 -2 and 111 two x 2 -5 by showing the following steps: Step1: The significand of the number with the lesser exponent is shifted right to match the exponent of the larger number. Step2: Add the significands. (you can assume that you can carry all digits) Step3: Normalize the sum, determine whether there is an overflow or an underflow. Step4: Truncate the sum (using 3 bits precision.) Can you please explain how to do each step? Thank you!
