Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the box plot is not given. A general approach to the question, is as follows:

First, identify the 27 mark on the box plot.

Next, count the number of data less than 27.

Take, for instance, there are 6 dots or marks before 27;

This means that 6 bags contain less than 27 ounces

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).
