Binary to Decimal Right of The Binary Point

117 Views Asked by At

I need to convert 10000000110.011 to decimal. The first part I fully understand, 2^10 + 2^2 + 2^1 = 1030. Wolfram Alpha confirmed that 1030 is correct. But for the right of the binary point, WA gives me an answer of .375, and I'm really confused how this was calculated. I tried searching here and Google, some applicable stuff, but nothing that made any sense for whatever reason. Can anyone offer me a quick step-by-step for doing this last part?

Thanks!
