| − | Jamal wants to save 30 files onto disks, each with 1.44 MB space. 3 of the files take up 0.8 MB, 12 of the files take up 0.7 MB, and the rest take up 0.4 MB. It is not possible to split a file onto 2 different disks. What is the smallest number of disks needed to store all 30 files?

| − | We can store a 0.4 MB plus a 0.8 MB file on a disk, or 2 0.7s, but not a 0.8 and a 0.7 together. Hence, our answer is <math>\frac{12}{2}+3+4=\boxed{13\Rightarrow\text{(B)}}</math>.
