Question

Assume that a picture is represented on a monitor screen by a rectangular array containing 2048 columns and 1536 rows of pixels. Assuming that each pixel took one byte of memory, how many megabytes of memory are required to store an animation that consists of 256 pictures?

Answer 1

Answer:

268 MB

Explanation:

Given that a picture is 2048 x 1536 pixel and each pixel is one byte one picture would be 1097728 bytes large because we have done the following

2048 x 1536 = 1097728

We know that 1 KB is 1024 bytes, so for one picture we use 1.027 KB because we have done the following

1097728 / 1024 = 1072

Furthermore, we also know that one MB is 1024 KB so one picture takes 1,046875 MB because we have done the following

1027 / 1024 = 1,046875

So animation that has 256 pictures would take 268 MB

1,046875 x 256 = 268
