The data transfer rate over the ADSL connection is 1024 kbps. A 5 MB file is transmitted over this connection

The data transfer rate over the ADSL connection is 1024 kbps. A 5 MB file is transmitted over this connection. Determine the file transfer time.

First, let’s determine the size of the source file in Kbytes:

1 MB = 1024 KB.

1 byte = 8 bits.

Therefore, 5 MB = 5 * 1024 = 5120 KB.

5120 KB = 5120 * 8 = 40960 KB.

At a transmission rate of 1024 Kbps, such a file will be transferred in 40960: 1024 = 40 seconds.
