I looked at the site but I am confused.
please help!
1,000 megabytes equals 1 gigabyte. Therefore, 5,000 megabytes equals 5 gigabytes.
The answer your teacher is looking for is probably 5 gigabytes. But blow him/her away, give them the "5 gigabyte" answer they are looking for, then say it's really
4.8828125 gigabytes.
1024 megabytes is 1 gigabyte. But most people think of it as 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte. 5000 divided by 1024 is 4.8828125 :)

To convert 5,000 megabytes to gigabytes, you need to know the conversion rate between the two units. In most cases, 1 gigabyte is equivalent to 1,000 megabytes. However, in some technical contexts, it may be calculated as 1 gigabyte = 1,024 megabytes.
To solve this, divide 5,000 megabytes by the conversion rate:
1) In the case of 1 gigabyte = 1,000 megabytes:
5,000 megabytes ÷ 1,000 = 5 gigabytes
2) In the case of 1 gigabyte = 1,024 megabytes:
5,000 megabytes ÷ 1,024 = 4.8828125 gigabytes
So, depending on the context and the conversion rate used, 5,000 megabytes is either equal to 5 gigabytes (assuming a 1,000:1 conversion rate) or approximately 4.8828125 gigabytes (assuming a 1,024:1 conversion rate).
