Shakespeare’s complete works have approximately 3.5 million characters. which is bigger in file size: shakespeare’s complete works stored in plain ascii text or a 4 minute song on mp3? how much bigger?

1 character in ASCII plain text occupies 1 byte of data; therefore 3.5 million of characters are 3.5 million of bytes. Since 1024 bytes = 1KB, we can use this equivalence to convert 3.5 million bytes to KB: (3500000 bytes)*(1KB/1024bytes) = 3417.97 KB. Now 1 minute of mp3 at 128 Kbps occupies 960KB, and since our mp3 is 4 minutes in length: 4*960= 3840KB. The difference between the two is 3840KB – 3417.97KB = 422.1KB, which means that the mp3 is larger than all the Shakespeare’s works by 422.1KB.
