A 64K file is transferred over some connection at 1024 bits per second. Determine the size of the file (in KB)

A 64K file is transferred over some connection at 1024 bits per second. Determine the size of the file (in KB) that can be transferred in the same time over another connection at a speed of 256 bits per second. Please provide one number in your answer – the file size in KB. Units of measurement do not need to be written.

Let’s find the time it took to transfer the first file:

64 kilobytes = 65536 bytes.

65536/1024 = 64 seconds.

To find the size of a file that we have time to transfer at a rate of 256 bits per second in 64 seconds, we need to find the product of these values:

256 * 64 = 16384 bits = 2048 bytes = 2 kilobytes.
