I have a test tomorrow about some few things I just can't quite understand/grasp to well. I forgot to ask these questions in class which is something unintelligent to do.
If the computer uses 8 bits to represent a real number, assume the radix point is always between the 3rd and 4th position.
What is the range of values that can be stored?
How many decimal positions are available?

I believe I found my answer
(1) The range would be eight bits 11111.111 and 01111.111
1+2+4+8 =-15.875 to 15.875
(2) 3
