Answer 2

Couldn't you just use your calculator?

Answer 3

gigabytes/megabytes

Answer 4

The amount of megabytes in a gigabyte would be equal to the amount of bytes in a gigabyte divided by the amount of bytes in a megabyte:
\[\frac{ 2^{30} }{ 2^{20} } = ?\]Remember that when we divide we subtract exponents

Answer 5

So could you walk me through each step i would needd to take?

Answer 6

When you divide two numbers with the same base, you subtract their exponents:
\[\frac{ a^b }{ a^c }=a^{b-c}\]This is the rule you'll use. Can you apply this to your problem?

Answer 7

so it would be 20^10?

Answer 8

It would be 2^10, the base stays the same

Answer 9

so there would be 3 megabytes in a gigabyte

Answer 10

No, there would be 2^10 megabytes in a gigabyte
