Peter has recently bought a media player and a digital camera. He wants to buy a memory card for these devices. Which memory device should Peter use in his digital camera and media player? A. hard disk B. flash memory device C. compact disk (CD) D. digital video disk (DVD)

june06:

its C right

Rx1nyDxyz:

I can help with this.

carmelle:

No the answer would not be C. give it another try :)

Rx1nyDxyz:

First off, what do you think it is?

june06:

B

Rx1nyDxyz:

Ok, and why do you think that?

june06:

because i like the liter B

june06:

idk

Rx1nyDxyz:

Ok, for starters, do you know what all those parts listed are?

june06:

nope

Rx1nyDxyz:

:/ Do you want an explanation?

june06:

yes

Rx1nyDxyz:

OK, so A hard disk is a large disk that cant be removed; and it has a large storage capacity; and it functions as an internal storage device. A flash memory device is basically a memory chip that is used to store and transport data between different devices. A compact disc (CD) is a plastic disk where information is stored, and can be read using a reflected laser light. A Digital Video Disc (DVD) is able to store more date than the regular compact disc (CD)

Rx1nyDxyz:

So, with that in mind, what do you think the answer is?

june06:

B OR D

june06:

one of those

carmelle:

Lemme try and help! Lets use the process on elimination here A. hard disk There is no input so that you can plug your digital camera in so you can get your pictures from the camera, so this is eliminated. C. and D. These two are almost the same. The difference between them is that a `"the DVD can store much more data than a CD"` When we look at a CD and a DVD, we also do not see an input anywhere. This leaves us with B, as stated above by @rx1nydxyz, a flash memory device is a memory chip when you CAN store and transport data between different devices. Based on this knowledge, what do you think the answer is?

june06:

D

Rx1nyDxyz:

thank you @carmelle i'll leave you to this then. Also, if any other help is needed i am available :)

try reading over what I said, because I gave a hint of what the answer clearly is

june06:

C

Rx1nyDxyz:

🤦 read what they wrote carefully, the answer is in there-

june06:

omg its B

carmelle:

well no... C and D are almost the same.. so if one is eliminated so will the other Let's see what we've eliminated so far.. A. ❌ B. C. ❌ D. ❌ Which one have we not eliminated?

june06:

B

Rx1nyDxyz:

There you go :)

june06:
