Shana has a 2 GB external storage drive that she wants to use to store her music collection. Each .mp3 file is about 2 MB. How many songs can she store on the drive? (1 point) Responses 1024 1024 512 512 2028 2028 4056

Answer 1

To determine how many songs Shana can store on her 2 GB external storage drive, we will first convert the drive's capacity from gigabytes (GB) to megabytes (MB), since each .mp3 file is measured in MB.

1. Convert 2 GB to MB:

   • 1 GB = 1024 MB
   • Therefore, 2 GB = 2 × 1024 MB = 2048 MB

2. Now, we'll divide the total storage (2048 MB) by the size of each song (2 MB): \[ \text{Number of songs} = \frac{2048 \text{ MB}}{2 \text{ MB/song}} = 1024 \text{ songs} \]

So, Shana can store 1024 songs on her 2 GB external storage drive.
