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.

What is the difference between password protection and encryption? please answer quick, i cant pass this test for the life of me
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:Password protection is like locking something in a safe-deposit. It means no one can get to the locked content without knowing the right combination. This method is used on separate documents, folders, and other data the computer's user may want to protect from other people who might have access to the device. The problem is, if someone interested in such content obtains the password or finds a way to open it without it, the content might be revealed despite the owner's efforts to keep it hidden. Unfortunately, there are a lot of ways hackers could obtain the password or hack in without it. For example, it could be obtained with the help of malware, or it might be guessed if the user chooses a weak password. Not to mention, when it comes to PDF documents, the passwords placed on them can be removed using the CMD window or specific.

Password encryption is a step up from password protection. The term can be a tad confusing because, in fact, you cannot encrypt the password itself. Instead, by setting up "password encryption" you are creating a password AND encrypting the contents of the file. In our example (see instructions below), the contents of the user's PDF document are not only password protected, but also encrypted. It is a process during which the content one wishes to keep secret is altered to make it unrecognizable. For example, if it is a text document, letters of each word might be shuffled with additional characters so the words would no longer make any sense. The reverse process is only available if the person who wants to decrypt this data can provide a specific decryption key or a password. In other words, even if the password is removed no one could read the hidden content as it still would need to be decrypted. Of course, it is important to realize you might be unable to retrieve it too if you lose the decryption key, aka, the password.
