The binary equivalent of 5.375 is
Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 101.101110111 B) 101.011 C) 101011 D) None of above E) Cannot be determined
Explanation :   The process to convert a floating point number to its binary equivalent :   1. Separate the number, based on the decimal point.   Ex. : 5.375 =&gt; 5 and .375   3. Convert the whole number part to its binary equivalent. In this case it is 5, so 101.   The final result will be 101.(dot)(something) .   4. Now we have to convert .375 in to its decimal equivalent.   Step 1: Begin with the decimal fraction and multiply by 2. The whole number part of the result is the first binary digit to the right of the point.   .375*2=

<output>0.75</output>
0.75   So the binary result till now is : 101.0   Step 2: Discard the whole number part and again multiply the decimal fraction by 2 and again append the whole number part to the right of the point. Follow this process until we get a zero as our decimal part or until we recognize an infinite repeating pattern.   0.75*2= 
<gadget id="calculator">0.75*2</gadget>
<output>1.5</output>
1.50   So the Binary result till now is 101.01   .50 * 2= 
<gadget id="calculator">.50 * 2</gadget>
<output>1</output>
1.00   So, the Final result will 101.011 i.e. option 101.011   Answer : 101.011
<result>B</result>
The binary equivalent of 5.375 is
