Calculations
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the TLE Computer System Servicing with Grade 7/8 Self-Learning
Module (SLM) on Performing Mensuration and Calculations!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the Performing Mensuration and Calculations. The scope of this module permits it
to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.

Let’s define the following terms!
1. Bandwidth - The amount of information that can be sent each second over a
network connection. A broadband internet connection has high bandwidth.
2. Bit - The most basic unit of information that can be stored in a computer
3. Byte - A basic unit for storing computer information, used for measuring the size
of a document. A byte is usually made up of eight bits. The written abbreviation
is B.
8. Gigahertz - A unit for measuring sound waves, radio waves, and computer speed
10. MBps - Stands for megabytes per second. MB is used in reference to file size, or
the amount of data transferred.

Lesson
Performing Mensuration and
3 Calculations
In almost everything you do, you perform even simple calculation and
measurement. Although you have computer skills, it does not mean you must
depend all the measurement and calculation in computer. There are cases that
you must do it manually to determine the possible result or output.v
What’s In
In the previous lesson you have learned the different computer devices,
classify them according to how they can be measured.

Notes to the Teacher
1. Read and understand the lessons properly.
2. Find out what you already know by understanding and
answering learning activities in this lesson.
3. Review the previous lessons and practice what you have
learned in a real-life situation.
What’s New
2. Data storage capacity - refers to how much disk space one or more storage
devices provides. It measures how much data a computer system may
contain. For an example, a computer with a 500GB hard drive has a
storage capacity of 500 gigabytes. A network server with four 1TB drives,
has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes.

Measurements can be Categorized into Two:
Digital storage units are the ways computer data is expressed. They are
typically articulated using bytes and usually abbreviated in expression. The table
below shows the basic digital storage units, its symbol, and its equivalent.
1 bit b O or 1
1 Byte B 8 bits

DIGITAL REPRESENTATION
11
A bit can have only two possible values, a one digit (1) or a zero digit (0). A bit can be
used to represent the state of something that has two states. For example, a light
switch can be either On or Off; in binary representation, these states would
correspond to 1 and 0, respectively. To increase the size of information stored, bits
are grouped into a pack of eight, which equals a byte. This measurement process
continues exponentially (1 bit = 8 bytes, 1 kilobyte = 1,024 bytes, etc.). Codes can be
used to represent almost any type of information digitally: computer data, graphics,
photos, voice, video, and music.
Computers use binary codes to represent and interpret letters, numbers and special
characters with bits. A commonly used code is the American Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII). With ASCII, each character is represented by a
string of bits. For example:

DECIMAL TO BINARY CONVERSION
To convert a decimal number to binary, all you have to do is divide the number by 2.
Get the quotient and the remainder. Bring down the quotient, divide it by 2, and get
the quotient and remainder again. Do it repeatedly until the quotient results to 0.
Copy the remainder from bottom to top, and that is the binary equivalent.
Example: 19
QUOTIENT Remainder
19/2 9 1
9/2 4 1
4/2 2 0
2/2 1 0
1/2 0 1
19 = 10011
Given: (equivalents)
64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Checking: 1 0 0 1 1 multiplier
16 8 4 2 1 equivalents
16 0 0 2 1 results
16 + 2 + 1 = 19
While a bit is the smallest representation of data, the most basic unit of digital
storage is the byte. A byte is 8 bits and is the smallest unit of measure (UOM) used
to represent data storage capacity.
One kilobyte is a little more than one thousand bytes, specifically 1,024. A megabyte
represents more than a million bytes or 1,048,576. A gigabyte is 1,073,741,824
bytes. A terabyte is 1,099,511,627,776. The exact number is gained by taking 2^n
power. When referring to storage space, we use the terms bytes (B), kilobytes (KB),
megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB).
13
Conversion and Calculations
In general, when something is represented digitally, the greater the detail, the greater
the number of bits needed to represent it. A low-resolution picture from a digital
camera will use around 360KB, and a high-resolution picture could use 2 MB or
more.
Kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes are typically used to measure the size
or storage capacity of a device. Examples of components and devices that use byte
storage include: random access memory (RAM), hard disk drive space, CDs, DVDs,
and MP3 players.
CDs have a data storage capacity of approximately 700 MB. DVDs have a data
storage capacity of approximately 4.3 GB on a single-layer disc, and approximately
8.5 GB on a dual-layer disc. BDs have a storage capacity of 25 GB on a single-layer
disc, and 50 GB on a dual-layer disc.
Once we know the size of a file or folder, it is possible to determine the number of
bytes being used. For example:
A file is 20 KB in size
1 KB = 1,024 Bytes
20 * 1,024 = 20,480 bytes in a 20 KB file
Solution:
1024 𝑀𝐵
8 GB x = 8192 MB
1 𝐺𝐵
14
2. In a hard drive has 3 terabytes capacity, what is the equivalent value in
gigabytes?
Solution:
1024 𝐺𝐵
3 TB x = 3072 GB
1 𝑇𝐵
