IEEE single precision floating point standard question?

    The IEEE single precision floating point standard representation requires a 32-bit word, which may be represented as numbered bits from 31 to 0 , left to right. Bit 31 is the sign bit S, the next bits 30 to 23 are the exponent bits E, and the lower 23 bits are the fraction F.

    S EEEEEEEE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

    Convert 0.40625 to this format and produce the final results as hexidecimal value.

    Remember any error with the bit processing changes the answer!

    I know the answer is
    3ED00000 = hex
    0011 1110 1101 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 = bin


    My question is how do yo get to the answer
