A 20MB file is transferred over a connection in 120 seconds. Determine the size of the file

A 20MB file is transferred over a connection in 120 seconds. Determine the size of the file (in MB) that can be transferred over the same connection in 10 minutes. Specify the file size in MB.

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:

20 megabytes = 20480 kilobytes

20480/120 – at least 171 kilobytes per second.

To calculate the size of the file that we will transfer in 10 minutes (600 seconds) at a speed of 171 kilobytes per second, we multiply these values:

171 * 600 = 102,600 kilobytes = 100.19 megabytes.
