Solution

The given 9-bit number is 010011000.

The number format is fixed-point with 3-bit integer and 6-bit fraction, unsigned.

The 3-bit integer part is 010, which is 2 in decimal.

The 6-bit fraction part is 011000. To convert this to decimal, we consider each bit as a negative power of 2. So, 011000 in binary is 0*(1/2) + 1*(1/4) + 1*(1/8) + 0*(1/16) + 0*(1/32) + 0*(1/64) = 0.25 + 0.125 = 0.375 in decimal.

So, the given 9-bit number 010011000 in fixed-point with 3-bit integer and 6-bit fraction, unsigned is 2.375 in decimal.

If we add this number to itself, we get 2.375 + 2.375 = 4.75 in decimal.

However, since we only have 3 bits for the integer part, the maximum integer we can represent is 7 (111 in binary). So, 4.75 can be represented accurately with 3 integer bits and 6 fraction bits.

Therefore, there is no round-off error when adding this number to itself.

Study the following 9 bit number: 010001111The number format is fixed-point with 5 bit integer, 4-bit fraction, two's complement. Convert this to decimal. Use up to 4 decimal places (round if necessary)

OK, let's see if I can explain this. When you round off, you change the value of the number,except if you round off a zero. Following the old rules, you can round a number down in valuefour times (rounding with one, two, three, four) compared to rounding it upwards five times(five, six, seven, eight, nine). Remember that "rounding off" a zero does not change the value ofthe number being rounded off.
