Is 5/6 closer to 1 or 0

2 answers:

6 0

The easiest way to think about this is to give all of the numbers common denominators:
1 can be written as 6/6
0 can be written as 0/6

Now we can see that 5/6 is only 1/6 away from 1, while it is 5/6 away from 0.

So, 5/6 is closer to 1!

It's closer to 1 because it is over half.

A flash disk has the capacity of storing 1 megabyte of data. How many kilobytes of data can be stored in the same flash disk

Luden [163]

For this sort of problem, you need to be familiar with prefixes.

So:

megabyte = $1 *10^6$ bytes

kilobyte = $1*10^3$ bytes

and a regular byte would just be $1$

Now, you will need to do a conversion:

$1megabyte*\frac{1*10^6bytes}{1megabyte}*\frac{1*10^{-3}kilobyte}{1byte}$

I'm going to explain this just in case, but we convert megabytes to regular bytes in the first half by using the information I gave you above. (In one megabyte, there are $1*10^6$ bytes!)

In the second fraction thought, remember one kilobyte is $1*10^3$ bytes. However, you usually only see one of each thing on the bottom of fractions, so you need to add a negative sign to the 3. (technically you could just do $\frac{1kilobyte}{1*10^3bytes}$ , but I think it is more correct to do write it out how I did).
