Calculations
Competencies
LO 1 – Select measuring instruments;
LO 2 – Carry out measurements and calculation and
LO 3 – Maintain measuring instruments.
Let’s Define the
following Terms!
Bandwidth - The amount of
information that can be sent
each second over a network
connection. A broadband
internet connection has high
bandwidth.
Bit - The most basic unit
of information that can
be stored in a computer
Byte - A basic unit for storing
computer information, used for
measuring the size of a
document. A byte is usually
made up of eight bits. The
written abbreviation is B.
Capacity - The amount of
information that can be
stored on a computer or
on a CD or floppy disk.
Clock speed- The
speed at which a
computer works.
Dpi - Dots per inch: a
measurement of the
ability of a computer
screen or printer to
produce a clear image
Gigabyte - A unit for
measuring computer
information, equal to
1,024 megabytes. The
written abbreviation is GB.
Gigahertz - A unit for
measuring sound
waves, radio waves, and
computer speed
Mbps - Means megabits
per second. Mb is used
in reference to
download and upload
speeds.
MBps - Stands for
megabytes per second.
MB is used in reference to
file size, or the amount of
data transferred
Mensuration is a process of
measuring and determining
the value, length, width,
thickness, weight, and area of
a surface or an object.
Calculation is also a deliberating
process that transforms and
calculate one or more inputs into
results and to determine
mathematical in terms of
numbers and amount.
Types of Components and Objects
to be Measured
Memory - is internal storage
areas in the computer system.
The term memory identifies
data storage that comes in
the form of chips, and the
word storage is used for
memory that exists on tapes
or disks. It could be internal
or external.
Data Storage Capacity - refers to how much
disk space one or more storage devices
provides. It measures how much data a
computer system may contain. For an
example, a computer with a 500GB hard
drive has a storage capacity of 500
gigabytes. A network server with four 1TB
drives, has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes.
Processor - is an integrated
electronic circuit that
performs the calculations that
run a computer. A processor
performs arithmetical, logical,
input/output (I/O) and other
basic instructions that are
passed from an operating
system (OS).
Video Card - is used to
process images so they can
be displayed on your monitor.
A good video card can make a
big difference in the quality
of your graphics, so this is
particularly important if you
play games or work with
photography and video.
Measurements can be
Categorized into Two:
A. Common Units of Measurement
The common unit of measurement is used to
measure the length, width, and thickness of
an object. In the computer context, these are
used in determining the size of a monitor,
laptop, or tablet screen, the thickness, and
dimensions of devices.
B. Digital Storage Units of Measurement
Digital storage units are the ways computer
data is expressed. They are typically
articulated using bytes and usually
abbreviated in expression. The table below
shows the basic digital storage units, its
symbol, and its equivalent.
