Question

Match the term to the correct amount of data:

Kilobyte Gigabyte Terabyte Megabyte Petabyte
A. 1000 terabytes
B. 1 trillion bytes
C. 1 billion bytes
D. 1 million bytes
E. 1 thousand bytes

Answer 1

To match each data measurement term with its corresponding size in bytes, a kilobyte is approximately 1 thousand bytes, a megabyte is approximately 1 million bytes, a gigabyte is approximately 1 billion bytes, a terabyte is approximately 1 trillion bytes, and a petabyte is approximately 1,000 terabytes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To match the term with the correct amount of data, you need to know the specific sizes assigned to each term:

• Kilobyte (KB) - 1,024 bytes (approximately 1 thousand bytes)
• Megabyte (MB) - 1,024 kilobytes (approximately 1 million bytes)
• Gigabyte (GB) - 1,024 megabytes (approximately 1 billion bytes)
• Terabyte (TB) - 1,024 gigabytes (approximately 1 trillion bytes)
• Petabyte (PB) - 1,024 terabytes (approximately 1,000 terabytes)

The correct matches using the given options are:

• Kilobyte (KB) - E. 1 thousand bytes
• Gigabyte (GB) - C. 1 billion bytes
• Terabyte (TB) - B. 1 trillion bytes
• Megabyte (MB) - D. 1 million bytes
• Petabyte (PB) - A. 1000 terabytes
