Consider a 32-bit hexadecimal number stored in memory as follows:
Address
Value
100
2A
101
C2
102
08
103
1B
If the machine is little endian and the number is an IEEE single-precision floating-point value, determine the decimal equivalent of the number stored at address 100 (you may leave your answer in scientific notation form, as a number times a power of two).
