Question

q4) in order to convert 10 kbs of data into bytes, what would you multiply it * 1 point by?
(2^10 bytes)/(1 kb) so that the kbs cancel out.
(1 bytes)/(2^10 kb) so that the kbs cancel out.
(2^10 kb)/(1 byte) so that the kbs are squared

Explanation:

Step1: Recall data - size conversion factor

1 KB = 2^10 Bytes. To convert from KB to Bytes, we need to use a conversion factor that will cancel out the KB unit.

Step2: Determine the correct conversion factor

We should multiply the amount in KB by $\frac{2^{10}\text{ Bytes}}{1\text{ KB}}$ because when we multiply 10 KB by $\frac{2^{10}\text{ Bytes}}{1\text{ KB}}$, the KB units cancel out, and we are left with Bytes.

Answer:

(2^10 Bytes)/(1 KB) so that the KB's cancel out.
