Real-Life Math -- Solution
You're designing a new program for an art gallery that will
make it easy for them to put images of all of their exhibits on the Internet.
These are some of the calculations you have to keep in mind.
An image
is 171,000 bytes. If 1,024 bytes is equal to 1 kilobyte, how many kilobytes
is this?
171,000 bytes / 1,024 bytes per kilobyte = 167 kilobytes
The
file is 167 kilobytes.
An image is 2,034 kilobytes. If 1,024 kilobytes
= 1 megabyte, how many megabytes is this?
2,034 kilobytes / 1,024
kilobytes per megabyte = 2 megabytes
The file is 2
megabytes.
"Math is an important skill in software engineering," says
Bob Baber. He is a computer science professor.
