Can you help me with this question? Sorry if I posted in wrong place.

Normalise the floating point decimal number 242.5 by converting it into a 16-bit binary representation. Allocate 8 bits for the mantissa, 7 bits for the exponent and 1 bit for the sign. Convert the result into hexadecimal.

Thanks!
