Q. Each page of a top-secret report on aliens requires 2KB of space in digital format.What is the maximum number of pages the report can have so that it can be completely stored on a USB drive that holds 4⋅106KB ?Write your answer in scientific notation, and round to one decimal place.pages
Calculate Total Storage Capacity: Determine the total storage capacity of the USB drive. The USB drive holds 4×106 KB.
Determine Storage Requirement: Determine the storage requirement for one page of the report. Each page requires 2KB.
Calculate Maximum Number of Pages: Calculate the maximum number of pages that can be stored on the USB drive. Divide the total storage capacity of the USB drive by the storage requirement for one page. Maximum number of pages = (4×106 KB)/(2KB/page)
Perform Division: Perform the division to find the maximum number of pages.Maximum number of pages = (4×106 KB)/(2KB/page)=2×106 pages
Write Answer in Scientific Notation: Write the answer in scientific notation, rounded to one decimal place.The maximum number of pages is already in scientific notation, and there is no need for rounding since it is an exact number.
