5.375.
Here 5-> 101.

0.375*2 = 0.750 decimal part = 0.
(omit decimal part).

0.750*2 = 1.50 decimal part = 1.
(omit decimal part).

0.5*2 = 1.0 decimal part = 1.
So, the ans is 101.011 (011 from top to down).

If equivalent is to use in binary formation.

By language is,

5<--1011011.
1010101.
101.1011.
1100110.
1011111.

So by doing this we'll get right formation.

101.011 converting to decimal.

= 1*(2^2)+0*(2^1)+1*(2^0).0*(2^-1)+1*(2^-2)+1*(2^-3).
= 4+0+1.0+(1/4)+(1/8).
= 5.375 Answer.

5.375

5 --> 101.

0.375 * 2 = 0.75.
0.75 * 2 = 1.5.
0.5 * 2 = 1.0.

Therefore it will be,
5.375 -> 101.011.

It is better to go in 2-1 and take digital logic design book and read that then you know how to convert binary to decimal?

5.375.

5 --> 101.

0.375 * 2 = 0.75.
0.75 * 2 = 1.5.
0.5 * 2 = 1.0.

Sorry I can't understanding why you peoples are taking 0.5 instead of 1.5, we have to take 1.5?
