A 10 MB file is transferred over a connection in 130 seconds. Determine the size of the file

A 10 MB file is transferred over a connection in 130 seconds. Determine the size of the file (in MB) that can be transferred over the same connection in 65 seconds.

We need to calculate the connection speed for this case. To do this, let’s translate the file size into kilobytes and divide it by the time spent:

10 megabytes = 10240 kilobytes

10240/130 – at least 79 kilobytes per second.

To calculate the size of the file that we will transfer in 65 seconds at a speed of 79 kilobytes per second, we multiply these values:

65 * 79 = 5135 kilobytes = 5 megabytes.
