Answer 1

Answer:Ali can fit around 40% of the video clips on his tablet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of video clips Ali can fit onto his tablet, we need to divide the available storage space by the average size of each video clip.

First, we need to convert the available storage space from gigabytes to kilobytes. We do this by multiplying 80 GB by 1 000 000 (1 GB = 1 000 000 KB).

80 GB x 1 000 000 = 80000000 KB

Next, we need to convert the average video clip size from kilobytes to bytes. We do this by multiplying 200 000 KB by 1 000 (1 KB = 1 000 bytes).

200 000 KB x 1 000 = 200000000 bytes

Now we can divide the available storage space (in bytes) by the average video clip size (in bytes) to find the number of video clips that can fit on the tablet:

80000000 / 200000000 = 0.4 or 40%

So, Ali can fit around 40% of the video clips on his tablet.
