Answer 1

Answer:

2,300,000pages  report.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a USB drive with memory of 4.6*10⁶KB, in order to know the maximum number of pages a report can have so that it can be completely stored on the drive, the conversion factor must be used.

We must first understand that 1 page of a document uses up approximately 2kB of the storage.

Since 2kB = 1page

4.6*10⁶KB = x page

Cross multiply

2kB * x = 4.6*10⁶KB * 1

2x =  4.6*10⁶

x =  4.6*10⁶/2

x =  2.3*10⁶

x = 2,300,000

Hence the maximum number of pages that the report can have so that it can be completely stored on a USB drive that holds 4.6*10⁶KB is approximately 2,300,000pages  report.
