After the sentence - "measuring runtime performance where values are more likely to be in the range of microseconds...", then we've got a table:

FROM | TO | APPROX

| 0x00000005 | 0x0801 | 0.000122 |

How did we get it?

0x00000005 => 0b 000 0000 0000 0101 -- that is supposed to be a fraction part?

Any hints?

That table is showing examples of what is described in the next section: "What do we do with numbers between 0 and 1?" From (uncompressed), To (compressed), Approx (decimal approximation just as an aid to understanding)

But it sounds like I might need to clarify things in that section a little bit more and maybe move the table later in the text.
