Question

Part D including the phones, tablets, and cloud, how many total bits of storage does the family have altogether? Type your answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

The family has a total storage capacity of 10,560,000,000,000 bits from their phones, tablets, and cloud storage.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total bits of storage for the family's phones, tablets, and cloud, we need the storage capacity for each device. Let's assume each phone has 64 gigabytes (GB) of storage, each tablet has 256 GB of storage, and the cloud has 1 terabyte (TB) of storage.

1. First, convert the storage capacity of each device to bits. 1 gigabyte (GB) is equal to 8,000,000,000 bits, and 1 terabyte (TB) is equal to 8,000,000,000,000 bits.
2. Now, calculate the total storage capacity for the phones: 64 GB x 8,000,000,000 bits/GB = 512,000,000,000 bits.
3. Next, calculate the total storage capacity for the tablets: 256 GB x 8,000,000,000 bits/GB = 2,048,000,000,000 bits.
4. Finally, calculate the total storage capacity for the family's devices by adding the storage capacities of the phones, tablets, and cloud together: 512,000,000,000 bits + 2,048,000,000,000 bits + 8,000,000,000,000 bits = 10,560,000,000,000 bits.

The family has a total storage capacity of 10,560,000,000,000 bits altogether.
