Question

how many bits are in 3 bytes? choose 1 answer: 12 bits, 24 bits, 30 bits, 36 bits

Explanation:

Step1: Recall bit - byte relation

We know that 1 byte is equal to 8 bits. This is a fundamental unit conversion in computer science (a subfield of Natural Science).

Step2: Calculate bits in 3 bytes

To find the number of bits in 3 bytes, we multiply the number of bytes (3) by the number of bits in one byte (8). So the calculation is $3\times8 = 24$.

Answer:

B. 24 bits
