Answer: third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that:
- There are 10⁹ bytes in a gigabyte.
- There are 10⁶ bytes in a megabyte.
Then, to know how many times greater the storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte flash drive is than a 1-megabyte flash drive, you must divide 10⁹ bytes by 10⁶ bytes.
Remember the quotient of powers property:
Then:
times greater
Depends on if you want it rounded.

now, let's take a peek at the denominators, we have 3 and 8 and 12, we can get an LCD of 24 from that.
Let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 24, to do away with the denominators.
so, let's recall that a whole is "1", namely 500/500 = 1 = whole, or 5/5 = 1 = whole or 24/24 = 1 = whole. So the whole class will yield a fraction of 1/1 or just 1.
