1)
How many bits are there in
a 400MB flash drive?

400*1024*1024*8= 3355443200 bits

2)
How many MB are 8,000,000 bytes?

It's 7812.5kb 7.6939453125MB

3)
Arrange the following from smallest to largest
26 million bytes
0.024GB, 25MB, 200 million bits and 25000KB.

26 million bytes 25MB


0.024GB 24.5MB
25MB 25mb
200 million bits 23.8MB
2500KB 2.4MB

2500KB, 0.024GB, 200millones de bits, 26 millones de bytes, 25MB

4)
Express the size in bytes
of a 320GB hard drive.

320GB-327680MB-335544320kb-343597383680 bytes

5)
How many 4.9Gb DVDs are needed for
record the contents of a hard drive
of 1.5TB?

1.5TB?
1.5TB-1536GB/4.9GB=313 DVD

Information Encoding
6)
How many bits does the following text occupy? Computer Science = Automatic Information

Información=información=automático
37 characters * 8 bits = 296 bits

7)
How much space will a text document that has 5 million approximately take up?
characters? Express the result in MB.

5 million characters * 8 bits = 40 million bits - 5 million bytes - 4.7 MB

8)
Escribe en binario los números del 1 al 9.

0=0000 4=0100 8=1000


1=0001 5=0101 9=1001
2=0010 6=0110
3=0011 7=0111

9)
Pasa a binario los siguientes números: 35, 140, 700 y 2000.

35=100011
140=10001100
700=1010111100

10)
Convert the binary numbers to decimal:

1 =1
10 =2
100 =4
1000 8
10000 =16
100000 =32

What do you observe? What would the next 1,000,000 be like?

=64 we observe that these are the most recognized storage units in GB

11)
Pasa a decimal los números binarios 1001, 110110, 100111, 110111.

1001 =9
110110 =54
100111 =39
110111 =55

12)
A song saved in mp3 is transmitted at 128kbps. How many megabytes does it occupy if
The song lasts 3 minutes and 45 seconds.
(Remember that in this case k=1000).

3min 45sec = 225 seconds


128*225seg=28800kb-28.8MB

13)
Cuánto dura una canción mp3 grabada a 128kbps que ocupa 4Mb.
4*1000=4000kb/128kbps=31 min 25 sec
14)
An image has a size of 640x480 pixels. If each basic color is encoded
con 8 bits. ¿Cuánto ocupará la imagen? Exprésalo en bits y en KB.

900kb*1024=921600bytes-7372800bits

15)
What image will occupy more, one of 400x300 encoded with 32-bit colors or
otra de 600x400 codificada en 24 bits? Expresa el resultado en Bytes.

400x300 of 32 bits weighs 703.1KB


600x400 of 24 bits weighs 1.37MB

Information transfers
16)
A CD reader is capable of transferring data at a speed of 7800 kilobits per second.
How long will it take to read a 700MB CD-ROM?

700MB * 1000 = 700000KB * 1000 = 700000000bytes * 8 = 5600000000bits / 1000 = 5600000kb


5600000kb/7800kbps= 718sec

17)
How long would it take a 45000 bps modem to download an image of 1.4MB?

1.4x1000=1400x1000=1400000x8=11200000 b/ 45000 bps=


248.88888888888888888888888888889 seg

18)
If with my ADSL modem I download 100MB in 2 minutes and 8 seconds, what is the
modem transfer speed?

2, 8, 128seg
100x1000=100000x1000=100000000x8=800000000 b
800000000/128=6250000 bts

19)
How long does a 6 Mb (megabits per second mega=1,000,000) ADSL connection take to download
a 25MB file?

25MB x 1000 = 25000KB x 1000 = 25000000B x 8 = 200000000 b


200000000 /1000=200000 kb / 1000=200MB
200 Mb / 6 Mbps = 33.333333333333333333333333333333 seg

20)
With a scanner that has a resolution of 600dpi, we scan an image of
5x3 inches. Knowing that the color depth to be used is 32 bits. What size
Will you have the scanned image?

911.3KB

21)
If the previous scanner is capable of scanning 4 pages of 10x7 inches per minute and each dot
it is represented with 32 bits, expresses the transfer speed of the scanner in MB per second

4.15MB x4=16.60 MB
60 sec

16.60MB/60sec=0.27666666666666666666666666666667 MBps
