Question 1123310: In your CIS 110 class Intro to Computer Class you learn that in the 1980’s a micro-computer had a memory of 64 kilobytes. Today’s computer may have 8 gigabytes of memory. Is the memory of today’s computer ten, hundreds, or thousands of times as large as the old computer’s memory? ___________
A kilobyte is a thousand = 103 bytes, usually abbreviated KB.
A megabyte is a million = 106 bytes, usually abbreviated MB or meg
A gigabyte is a billion = 109 bytes, usually abbreviated GB or gig.
A terabyte is a trillion = 1012 bytes, usually abbreviated TB.
To find out how many megabytes are in a gigabyte, we divide:
There are 1000 megabytes in a gigabyte. Similarly, we calculate that there are a million megabytes in a terabyte.
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1024 bytes=1 kilobyte=2^10 bytes; 64 kilobytes=2^16 bytes
1024 kb=2^20 bytes= 1 mb
1024 mb=2^30 bytes=1 gigabyte(=1.074 x 10 ^9 bytes)
8 gb = 8.59 x 10^9 bytes
64 kilobytes=65536 or 6.5536 x 10^4 bytes
=1.310 x 10^5 times as much or 131000.
This would be thousands of times more, given the choices listed.
