Question

Suppose that a color digital photo has 512 pixels per row and 512 pixels per column, and that each pixel requires two bytes of storage. How many such pictures could you have in your camera if the camera had 6 GB of storage available

Answer 1

Answer:

2,929,687 pictures

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pixel requires 2 bytes of storage

A color digital photo uses 512 pixels (512×2 bytes = 1024 bytes) per row and 512 pixels (1024) bytes per column

Total storage used by 1 picture = 1024 + 1024 = 2048 bytes

Storage capacity my camera = 6GB = 6×10^9 bytes

Number of pictures I can have in my camera = 6×10^9/2048 = 2,929,687 pictures
