Question

Computer capacity is often measured in bits and bytes. A bit is the smallest unit, which is a 1 or a 0, in the computer's memory. A byte is 2^3 bits. A megabyte (MB) is 2^20 bytes. How many bits are in a megabyte?

Answer 1

what is 2^20 * 2^3?

Answer 2

simplified, that is

Answer 3

2^(20+3), add exponents when you multiply a number with the same base

Answer 4

ok.....I'm still not catching up here....

Answer 5

\[\huge2^{20}*2^3=2^{20+3}=2^{23}\]
\[\huge2^x+2^y=2^{x+y}\]

Answer 6

oh ok...so the answer is 2^23?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

ph ok :) thank you :)
