range of mantissa (16 bit) and exponent(8 bit) to store a floating pt.no.(2's complement format)

OpenStudy (rsmith6559):

Since an 8 bit signed integer can have a value between -128 and 127, I would guess that the range would be 2^-128 and 2^127. This is not my strongest area, I just didn't want your question to go unanswered. I believe that the specs for floating point is IEEE 654, that should have definitive info for you.
