Here is a rather lengthy video (30min) giving you a nice explanation of conversion between different bases.
The actual discussion of Binary Coded Decimals (BCD) starts near the end of the video.

1111010.11
1111010 + .11

0*2*0 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^3 + 1*2^4 + 1*2^5 +1*2^6 + 1*2^-1 +1*2^-2
0 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 1/2 + 1/4
going to BCD is a chore, but once you have that, you can just read off the decimal digits.
