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 answer

To determine the number of songs Shana can store on her 2 GB external storage drive, we need to convert the size of the drive from gigabytes to megabytes.

1 GB is equal to 1024 MB.
Therefore, 2 GB is equal to 2 * 1024 = 2048 MB.

Since each .mp3 file is about 2 MB, Shana can store 2048 / 2 = <<2048/2=1024>>1024 songs on the drive. Answer: \boxed{1024}.
