Okay so the mantissa is 01000000 and the exponent is 00000000. So if you convert that into real numbers, exponent is zero right?
The mantissa would be converted into 0.1, which is equal to 0.5.

Just remember that in the mantissa, the point is put after the first digit, like if the mantissa was 01101101 and the exponent was zero, the point would go like this: 0.1101101

Remember,
0.1 = 0.5
0.01 = 0.25
0.001 = 0.125
And so on.

Hope you understand.
