The different storage units we are looking at today are:

 0 = 1 bit
 0000 = 1 nibble (4 bits)
 0000 0000 = 1 byte (8 bits)
Each letter of a word is worth one byte (8 bits)

Task 1: Storing words

How much file space would you need for the following words?
1) apple = 5 (letters) × 1 (byte) = 5 byte file

 How fast will the files transfer?

Remember: We can work out how long files will take to transfer if we know the bandwidth speed and
the file size. To work out the time a file will take to transfer we can divide the size of the file by the
speed of the bandwidth.
E.g. A photo is 900 KiB (kibibytes) in size and the bandwidth is 9 KiB (kibibytes) per second:

900 KiB ÷ 9 KiB = 100 seconds

You will need to convert the file sizes from mebibytes and gibibytes to kibibytes to answer some of
these questions.

1) Jenny is sending a photo of her new bike to Bella. The photo is 8 KiB. Jenny’s bandwidth is 2 KiB
per second. How long will the file take to reach Bella’s computer?

2) Ali is sending a large email to his friend. The email he is sending is 4 KiB and his bandwidth is 1
KiB per second. How long does the email take to send?

3) Sarah is looking at a photo of the Eiffel Tower on the Internet. Her bandwidth is 3 KiB per second.
The file size of the photo is 9 KiB. How long will it take to transfer?

4) Jack wants to share a video from his holiday with friends on the Internet. He uploads it to social
media. His bandwidth is 3 KiB per second and the video he is uploading is 3 GiB:

a) How big is Jack’s video in bytes?

1 byte = 8 bits

1 kibibyte = 1 024 bytes

b) How big is Jack’s video in kibibytes?
1 mebibyte = 1 048 576 bytes

1 gibibyte = 1 073 741 824

c) How long does the video take to transfer?

5) Anna is downloading a film to watch. Her Internet bandwidth is 3 KiB per second. The film she is
downloading is high definition, which means it is a large file. The file size of the film is 5 GiB.

a) How big is the film in bytes?

b) How big is the film in kibibytes?

c) How long does the film take to transfer?
