A 4MB file is transferred over a connection in 16 seconds. Determine the time in seconds for which a 2048Kbyte file can be transferred over the same connection

To solve this problem, you must first convert the information volume of the first file from MB to KB.

Since 1 MB contains 1024 KB, we get:

4 * 1024 = 4096 KB.

We find the transmission speed through this connection.

We divide the information volume of the file by the time of transfer.

Will be:

4096/16 = 256 KB per second.

From this it follows that to transfer a 2048 KB file, you will need:

2048/256 = 8 seconds.

Answer: It takes 8 seconds to transfer the file.
