Math Problem Statement
A 500 page eBook is about one megabyte. The Library of Congress contains over 39 million books. If we assume that each on average is 500 pages, how much memory space would be needed to electronically house the books? Use fraction multiplication to support your answer. 9) If you wish to upload all of the eBooks of the library of congress onto a server, and again you can upload at a rate of about 29.3 megabits per second, find out how long it would take to upload all of the books of the library of congress onto a server. Express your answer as a unit of time that is reasonable.
