A certain CD-ROM disk can store 600 megabytes of information. If an average word requires 9.0 bytes of storage, how many words can be stored on one disk?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.6667 x 10⁷ words

Step-by-step explanation:

In the decimal system, there are 10⁶ bytes in a megabyte. Thus, the CD-ROM disk can store 600 x 10⁶ bytes of information. If each word requires 9.0 bytes of storage, the number of words that can be stored on one disk is given by:

[tex]n = \frac{600*10^6}{9.0} = 66.667*10^6 = 6.6667*10^7\ words[/tex]

The disk can store  6.6667 x 10⁷ words or roughly 67 million words.
