Information flow rate – 20 bit / sec. How long will it take to transfer 10 bytes of information.

First, let’s convert the file size in bytes to the file size in bits. Based on the fact that there are eight bits in one byte:

10 * 8 = 80 bits – file size in bits.

The information stream is capable of transmitting 20 bits per second per second. Let’s divide the size of the information to be transferred by the bandwidth. This will be the solution to the problem:

80/20 = 4 seconds.
