Answer:

The flashdrive can hold 35389 400-pages-books

Explanation:

If \frac{2}{3} of a page occupies 1 kB of memory, we can calculate how much memory a book will take

2/3kB=1 page\\ x kB=400 pages\\266.67 kB=400 pages

Now that we know that a book average file size is about 266,67 kB, we calculate how many of them can a 9 GB flash drive hold.

To do the calculation, we have to know how many kilobytes are in 9 gigabytes.

There is 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, and 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte, so:

Memory_{in _kilobytes}^{} =1024\frac{kilobytes}{megabytes} *1024\frac{megabytes}{gigabytes}*9=9437184 kilobytes

Finally, knowing the average file size of a book and how much memory in kilobytes the 9 GB flash drive holds, we calculate how many books can it hold.

Books=\frac{Flash drive memory}{Filesize of a book} =\frac{9437184kilobytes}{266.67\frac{kilobytes}{book} } =35389,4 books

The flashdrive can hold 35389 400-pages-books, or 14155776 pages of typical text.

double area = 25;

// square root the area to find the length
// then apply basic pythagoras
double diagonal = sqrt(pow(sqrt(area), 2) + pow(sqrt(area), 2));

Is the cell phone changing our views about polite and impolite behavior? For example,
DochEvi [55]

*This question seems like an opinion based question, but here is my opinion on the matter:

Yes the cell phone is changing our views of what is polite and impolite. It is indeed impolite to talk on your phone while you are ordering a drink at Starbucks, because then you aren't focusing on ordering instead you are focused on your phone call which can interfere with your ordering.

Hope this helps!
