A 64KB file is transferred over some connection at a speed of 1024 bits per second. How long will it take to transfer the file?
| December 16, 2020 | education
To find out, let’s translate KB into bytes, and then into bits. 64 kB = 65536 bytes = 524288 bits.
The speed is measured in bits per second (bps)
Let’s divide the information volume by the speed. Let’s get the time.
524288: 1024 = 512 seconds.
512 seconds = ≈8.53 minutes.
Answer: the transfer will take 8 minutes 33 seconds.
