Much the same way as you do for decimal numbers. The rules are just the same, bearing in mind that the positions in a long number represent powers of 2 instead of powers of 10, so the maximum digit in any position is 1 instead of 9. The the right of the "point" they are "halves, quarters, eighths," etc instead of "tenths, hundredths, thousandths" etc So Binary 101.11 is 4+0+1+1/2+1/4 = 5.75 in decimal. In any base the number "10" represents the base ... in decimal, 10 means ten, and in binary, 10 means two.
