Question

A certain disk can store 600 megabytes of information. If an average word requires 9.0 bytes of storage, how many words can be stored on one disk?

Answer 1

69,905,067 (approximate).

Step-by-step explanation:

1 MB is equal to 1024 KB.

1 KB is equal to 1024 bytes.

So 1 MB is equal to 1024 x 1024 = 1,048,576 bytes.

600 MB is equal to 600 x 1,048,576 = 629,145,600‬ bytes

If an average word is of size 9 bytes then 600 MB size disk can store,

approximately 629,145,600 / 9 = 69,905,067 words.
