Shakespeare
Prompt: Shakespeare’s complete works have approximately 3.5 million characters. Which is bigger in file size: Shakespeare’s complete works stored in plain ASCII text or a 4 minute song on mp3? How much bigger?
From what the conversion chart shows, 3.5 million characters of Shakespeare's work is equivalent to 3.5 million bytes. By converting bytes into megabytes, 3.5 million bytes is split by a million bytes. So it would be 3.5 megabytes. Therefore the ASCII text is smaller into less bytes by .5 megabytes and the MP3 is bigger in file size because per minute is 1 megabyte and the song is 4 minutes so it would be 4 megabytes in total.
