Detailed explanation-1: -Signed Magnitude Representation uses the Most Significant Bit (MSB) as the sign bit. The MSB is the leftmost bit in a binary number, so in the binary number 101101, 1 is the MSB. In Signed Magnitude Representation, the sign of the number is interpreted as follows: 0 means Positive. 1 means Negative.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sign of the binary number is determined by the leading (furthest left) digit. If it is a 1, then it is negative, and the magnitude, or absolute value, can be found by flipping all 1’s to 0’s and 0’s to 1’s. If it is a leading 0, then treat it like a normal binary number.
Detailed explanation-3: -After converting the binary number ‘1011.011’ into the decimal number, final answer obtained is ‘11.375’.
