Answer 1

To find out the total space on the memory card, you can set up the equation where 8% of the total capacity equals 1.2 GB.

Let \( x \) be the total capacity of the memory card.

So, you have:

\[ 0.08x = 1.2 \text{ GB} \]

To find \( x \), divide both sides by 0.08:

\[ x = \frac{1.2}{0.08} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = 15 \text{ GB} \]

Thus, the total space on the card is 15 GB.
