In decimal number, how to convert float or binary is any possibilities?

@Krish, you have to consider part after decimal point only.

Because if you consider 1.5 next answer will be 3.0 which is not possible.

5.375.
5 = 1(2^2) + 0(2^1) + 1(2^0).
0.375 = (0/(2^1)) + (1/(2^2)) + (1/(2^3)).

5.375.

5 --> 101.
0.375 * 2 = 0.75,
0.75 * 2 = 1.5,
0.5 * 2 = 1.0.

Consider, only the decimal part from top to bottom ( 0 1 1).
THEREFORE 5.375=101.011.
