Quarter 1 Learning Activity Sheet 4: Computer System Servicing

This document contains a learning activity sheet on performing mensuration and calculation for Computer System Servicing. It includes an introduction on why binary numbers are important and used in computers. The document then provides strategies for learning about digital representation, converting decimal numbers to binary, and calculating data storage in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, and more. Examples are given to demonstrate converting decimal to binary and calculating file storage. Students are then asked to complete several conversion exercises to practice these concepts.

COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING


Subject

Perform Mensuration and Calculation


Title

I. Introduction

Why do you think it is important to study binary numbers? Can you


use binary numbers in real life situation? Cite an example.
What do you think when you hear the words binary numbers? Did you
know that computers only use zeros and ones? Everything that you see or
hear on a computer such as pictures, movies, words, or even sounds is stored
using just those two numbers!

II. MELCs with code

1. Calculation needed to complete work tasks is performed using the four


fundamentals operations (addition, subtractions, multiplication and
division).
1. Numerical computation is self-checked and corrected for accuracy.

III. Strategy

A. Explore:

Let us determine how much you already know about our lesson. Take this test.
Write your answer in your notebook.
A. Write True if the statement is true, write False otherwise.
1. Byte represents the smallest piece of data.
2. 1 kilobyte is 1000 bytes.
3. Computers interpret things to patterns of bits.
4. RAM uses byte storage.
5. Capacitors also uses byte storage.

B. Convert the following to binary. Perform checking to verify your answer. 2


points each.

B. Learn:

DIGITAL REPRESENTATION

Information is represented and stored in a digital binary format within a computer. The
term bit is an abbreviation of binary digit and represents the smallest piece of data.

A bit can have only two possible values, a one digit (1) or a zero digit (0). A bit can be
used to represent the state of something that has two states.

CONVERT DECIMAL NUMBERS TO BINARY

To convert a decimal number to binary, all you have to do is divide the number by 2. Get
the quotient and the remainder. Bring down the quotient, divide it by 2, and get the
quotient and remainder again. Do it repeatedly until the quotient results to 0. Copy the
remainder from bottom to top, and that is the binary equivalent.

Example: 30
Quotient Remainder
30/2 15 0
15/2 7 1
7/2 3 1
3/2 1 1
1/2 0 1

30 = 11110

Checking:
1 1 1 1 0 Multiplier
16 8 4 2 1 Equivalents
16 8 4 2 0 Results
16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 30

CALCULATING DATA STORAGE

While a bit is the smallest representation of data, the most basic unit of digital storage is
the byte. A byte is 8 bits and is the smallest unit of measure (UOM) used to represent
data storage capacity. When referring to storage space, we use the terms bytes (B),
kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB).

One kilobyte is a little more than one thousand bytes, specifically 1,024. A megabyte
represents more than a million bytes or 1,048,576. A gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes. A
terabyte is 1,099,511,627,776.

Here is another conversion:


1 byte = 8bits
1kilobyte = 1,024 bytes
1 megabyte = 1,024 kilobytes
3
1 gigabyte = 1,024 megabyte
1terabyte = 1,024 gigabyte

When something is represented digitally, the greater the detail, the greater the number
of bits needed to represent it. A low-resolution picture from a digital camera will use
around 360KB, and a high-resolution picture could use 2 MB or more.

Examples of components and devices that use byte storage include: random access
memory (RAM), hard disk drive space, CDs, DVDs, and MP3 players. CDs have a data
storage capacity of approximately 700 MB. DVDs have a data storage capacity of
approximately 4.3 GB on a single-layer disc, and approximately 8.5 GB on a dual-layer
disc. BDs have a storage capacity of 25 GB on a single-layer disc, and 50 GB on a dual-
layer disc. Once we know the size of a file or folder, it is possible to determine the
number of bytes being used.

Example:
A file is 25KB in size
1KB = 1,024Bytes
25 x 1,024 = 25,600Bytes in a 25KB file

If this 25KB file is stored in a 1MB folder, how many files can be stored in that
folder?
1MB = 1,048,576Bytes 25KB = 25,600Bytes
1,048,576Bytes/25,600Bytes = 40.96 files can be stored in a 1MB
