6. One petabyte storage, full of music of 1 mb per minute, will take how long to finish?

Explanation

Assuming that the question is asking how long it would take to finish listening to all the music stored in one petabyte (which is a unit of digital storage), we can calculate the time by dividing the total storage capacity (1 petabyte) by the size of each song (1 megabyte) and then converting it to years. Since there are 1,048,576 megabytes in a petabyte, dividing it by 1 gives us 1,048,576 minutes. Converting this to years, we get approximately 2000 years.

7. Describe a petabyte with the International System of Units

Explanation

A petabyte is a unit of digital information storage capacity that is equal to 10^15 bytes. It is commonly used to measure large amounts of data, such as in big data analytics or cloud storage. The prefix "peta" in the International System of Units represents a factor of 10^15, which is why the correct answer is 10^15.

Explanation

One petabyte is equal to 1000 terabytes. The prefix "peta" represents a factor of 10^15, while the prefix "tera" represents a factor of 10^12. Therefore, when converting from petabytes to terabytes, we need to multiply the value by 10^3, resulting in 1000 terabytes.

Submit
9. How many petabytes is equal to one exabyte?

Explanation

One exabyte is equal to 1000 petabytes. This is because the metric system uses powers of 10 to represent larger units of data storage. Each unit is 1000 times larger than the previous one. Therefore, one exabyte is 1000 times larger than one petabyte.
