Answer:
The total number number of megabytes required to store the book is
Step-by-step explanation:
The smallest unit of storage on a computer are Bits. That is, a single on/off value.
This is different from a Bytes.
Bytes are often represented by the capital letter B, bits by a lower case b.
Please note: A single typed character (for example, 'x' or '8') is stored in one byte.
1 Byte = 8 bits.
1, 000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte and
1,024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
Therefore 1,000,000 Bytes = 1 Megabyte
STEP I - Get the Number of Bytes required.
Each symbol = 1 byte
Each Page has 445.8 symbols
The book has 360 pages.
Therefore, total number of symbols =
445.8 x 360
= 160, 488 Bytes
If our answer has to be in Megabytes, recall that 1,000,000 Bytes = 1 Megabyte.
Therefore the minimum number of megabytes required to store the book =
160,400/1,000,000
= 0.1604
In three decimal places our answer therefore is
= 0.160 Megabytes or 0.160MB.
Cheers!
