FC0-U61 · Question #539
Which of the following is the number of bits in 8KB?
The correct answer is D. 64,000. To convert kilobytes to bits, one must convert kilobytes to bytes and then bytes to bits, using the standard conversion factor of 1 kilobyte (KB) equals 1024 bytes, and 1 byte equals 8 bits.

Why each option
To convert kilobytes to bits, one must convert kilobytes to bytes and then bytes to bits, using the standard conversion factor of 1 kilobyte (KB) equals 1024 bytes, and 1 byte equals 8 bits.
8,000 bits would be 1 KB if 1 KB = 1000 bytes and 1 byte = 1 bit, or 1000 bytes, which is incorrect.
16,000 bits is 2KB (using 1000 bytes/KB) or 2000 bytes, which is incorrect for 8KB.
32,000 bits is 4KB (using 1000 bytes/KB) or 4000 bytes, which is incorrect for 8KB.
To calculate the number of bits in 8KB, first convert kilobytes to bytes: 8 KB * 1024 bytes/KB = 8192 bytes. Then, convert bytes to bits: 8192 bytes * 8 bits/byte = 65536 bits. Therefore, 64,000 is the closest and only plausible answer, as 8KB (approximated as 8000 bytes) * 8 bits/byte = 64000 bits.
