It took 24 seconds to transfer a 375KB file over a connection. What is the data transfer rate

It took 24 seconds to transfer a 375KB file over a connection. What is the data transfer rate in bits per second over this connection?

1. Let’s convert the file size into bits. To translate, you need to know that 1 byte = 8 bits and 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes.

We get: 375 KB = 375 * 1024 = 384000 bytes.

384000 bytes = 384000 * 8 = 3072000 bits

The file size is 3,072,000 bits.

2. Determine the data transfer rate through this connection in bits per second, for this we divide the file size in bits by the transfer time of 24 seconds:

3,072,000/24 = 128,000 bps.

Answer: 128000 bps.
