Brooklynn downloaded 264 pictures from her cell phone to her computer. These pictures took up 528 megabytes of space on her computer. Each picture took up the same amount of space. How many megabytes do 35 of these pictures take up?

Answer 1

To find out how many megabytes 35 of the pictures take up, we first need to determine the space that each picture occupies.

Brooklynn downloaded a total of 264 pictures that took up 528 megabytes. We can find the size of each picture by dividing the total megabytes by the number of pictures:

\[ \text{Size of each picture} = \frac{528 \text{ megabytes}}{264 \text{ pictures}} = 2 \text{ megabytes per picture} \]

Now that we know each picture takes up 2 megabytes, we can calculate the space taken up by 35 pictures:

\[ \text{Space for 35 pictures} = 35 \text{ pictures} \times 2 \text{ megabytes per picture} = 70 \text{ megabytes} \]

Thus, 35 of these pictures take up 70 megabytes.
