Convert mibibyte-days to gibibyte-months.

Question

I have a web host that charges $1 for every Gibibyte (1024 MiB) that I use per month.

Currently I am using about 7.6 MiB (Mibibytes) per day.

I tried to do this myself and ended up with hopelessly large numbers that I didn't know the meaning of.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to find out how much I will be charged each month...

$\frac {7.6 \cdot 30}{1024} \approx $0.2$. – Kaster Oct 29 '15 at 04:12 — Kaster, Oct 29 '15 at 04:12

Hint:

If you are using 7.6 MiB per day, then you will use 7.6*30 MiB every 30-day month.

Now use that number and the fraction (1 dollar/1024MiB) do get your answer. It shouldn't be that big.

I must have been multiplying by 1024 instead of dividing. Thank you. – DeveloperACE Oct 29 '15 at 04:14
@Computer_ACE If you perform dimensional analysis then it should become clear when to divide vs. multiply. – 1110101001 Oct 29 '15 at 04:15
dimensional analysis? – DeveloperACE Oct 29 '15 at 04:16
Do they teach that in algebra 1? – DeveloperACE Oct 29 '15 at 04:16
