IEEE 754 standard

How would you use the IEEE 754 standard to represent a floating point number if you were given the bit pattern representation of it?

The IEEE 754 standard defines the bit patterns to use for floating point numbers along with methods and other details.  It is used in math coprocessors and in mathematical routines in almost all programming languages.  So I'm not sure what your question is about.  What 'bit pattern representation' are you talking about?
