Answer

(i) Data limit of Mary is 14 GB and 1 GB = 1024 MB.
Thus, 14 GB = 1024 x 14 = 14,336 MB
The average size of an email with attachment is 1.4 MB.
To find out the number of emails Mary can download without exceeding her data limit, we need to divide her data limit by the average size of an email with an attachment:

Number of Emails = Data Limit / Average Size of Email
Number of Emails = 14,336 / 1.4
Number of Emails = 10,240

Therefore, Mary can download approximately 10,240 emails without exceeding her data limit.

(ii) E-mail is the most widely used tool to send and receive electronic messages between users over a network such as the Internet.

(iii) Attachments refer to files or documents that are included with an email message. These files can be of various types, such as documents, images, spreadsheets, or any other file format that can be attached to an email.

(iv) Two popular websites that provide email services are:

  1. Gmail
  2. Yahoo
