8. How do you convert megabytes into kilobytes?
Answer: Multiply by 1024.
Example: 2 MB = 2 × 1024 = 2048 KB
9. Why is there a carry in binary when adding 1 + 1?
Answer: Because 1 + 1 = 10 in binary (0 and carry 1 to the next column)
10. What happens when you add 11111111 to 00000010 in binary?

13. Salma has a large number of audio files that add up to 800 gigabytes of data. How
many terabytes is that?
Answer:
800 GB ÷ 1024 = 0.78125 TB
14. Arshad has a folder containing 0.57 terabytes of data. How many megabytes is that?
Answer:
0.57 × 1024 × 1024 = 0.57 × 1,048,576 = 597688.32 MB

16. How much bigger than a megabyte is a gigabyte?
Answer: 1024 times bigger
17. How much bigger than a megabyte is a terabyte?
Answer:
1 TB = 1024 × 1024 MB = 1,048,576 MB
18. Your teacher has 10 videos to store. Each file is 3.2 gigabytes. How much space is
needed on the network in terabytes?
Answer:
10 × 3.2 GB = 32 GB
32 GB ÷ 1024 = 0.03125 TB
19. You have 100 eBooks (0.25 MB each), 50 digital photos (3 MB each), and 5 DVDs
(4 GB each). What is the total size in gigabytes?
Answer:
100 × 0.25 MB = 25 MB
50 × 3 MB = 150 MB
5 × 4 GB = 20 GB
Total MB = 25 + 150 = 175 MB = 175 ÷ 1024 = 0.1709 GB
Total size = 0.1709 + 20 = 20.1709 GB
