    Hello,

    We are obviously not going to do your homework for you, as that would undermine the educational value of the exercise.

    Hints:
    • 1 character ASCII = 8 bits = 1 byte for plain text (Unicode = 16 bits).
    • Since the measurement unit change in 1998;
      • 1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes.
      • 1 MB = 1000 KB
      • 1 GB = 1000 MB
      • 1 TB = 1000 GB
      • etc.
    • 2GB (given the uppercase B, I assume that means Byte) = 2GB.


    The calculation is quite simple to determine how many plain text files of 1500 ASCII characters can fit on a 2GB USB key.

    Best regards

    ¯\_(シ)_/¯
