Could some one explain to me how to convert Base 10 to IEEE format??

Here are two problems I need help on

1. Code the number 12.0957 (base 10) in floating point form using IEEE FORMAT.

2. Decode the following number coded in single precision IEEE floating point form: 85 E4 B0 00 (base 16)

any help would be great, or the answers so I can figure it out myself.

See here (http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/55797.html) for a good explanation.

thanks but thats for base 16, I already know that. any help with floating point IEEE?
