To determine how many songs Shana can store on her 2 GB external storage drive, we first need to convert the storage capacity from gigabytes (GB) to megabytes (MB).

1 GB = 1024 MB

So, 2 GB = 2 × 1024 MB = 2048 MB

Next, we know each .mp3 file is approximately 2 MB.

To find out how many 2 MB files can fit in 2048 MB, we divide the total storage by the size of each file:

2048 MB ÷ 2 MB/song = 1024 songs

Therefore, the answer is 1024.
