Answer 1

 track is 80 MB in size. Calculate the file size after compression. How many mp3 files of the size calculated above could be stored on an 800 MB cd

Answer:

MP3s are audio files compressed using compression. The lossy <span style="font-family: Arial, &quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(89, 89, 89);">compression</span> allows great savings in file size, with the average <span style="font-family: Arial, &quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: rgb(89, 89, 89);">MP3</span> file being 90% smaller than an equivalent uncompressed audio file.

Here 80 MB track can be compressed or reduced to 8 megabytes.

You calculate this way 80MB*90/100=72 reduced, 80MB*10/100=8MB new file size

In the case of 800 MB

80MB=8MB new file after compression how about 800MB?

80MB=8MB

800MB=?

800/8=100MB new file size after compression.
