How many seconds will it take for a modem transmitting a message at 128,000 bps to transmit a 239KB message.

1. Let’s translate the connection speed in kilobytes per second. To translate, you need to know that 1 byte = 8 bits and 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes.
We get: 128000 bps = 128000/8 = 16000 bytes / s.
16000 bytes / s = 16000/1024 = 15.625 KB / s
The connection speed is 15.625 kilobytes per second.
2. Determine in how many seconds a 239 KB message will be transmitted
239 / 15.625 = 15.296 sec.
After rounding to integers, we get 15 seconds.
Answer: 15 seconds.
