Question

Kiara downloaded 126 pictures from her cell phone to her computer. These pictures took up 252 megabytes of space on her computer. Each picture took up the same amount of space. How many megabytes do 35 of these pictures take up? Find how many megabytes one picture used and multiply it by 35.

A) 7 MB
B) 35 MB
C) 70 MB
D) 126 MB
E) 252 MB

Answer 1

To find out how many megabytes 35 of the pictures take up, we divide the total megabytes by the total number of pictures. Then, we multiply this by the number of pictures we want to know about. In this case, 35 pictures take up 70 megabytes of space.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many megabytes 35 of the pictures take up, we need to find out how many megabytes one picture uses first.

We know that 126 pictures took up 252 megabytes of space on the computer, so we can divide 252 by 126 to find out how many megabytes each picture uses:

252 / 126 = 2 megabytes

Now, to find out how many megabytes 35 pictures use, we can multiply the amount of megabytes one picture uses by 35:

2 x 35 = 70 megabytes

Therefore, 35 of these pictures take up 70 megabytes of space.
