The data transfer rate over the ADSL connection is 128,000 bps. It took 32 seconds to transfer the file

The data transfer rate over the ADSL connection is 128,000 bps. It took 32 seconds to transfer the file over this connection. Determine the file size in KB. Please provide one number in your answer – the file size in Kbytes. Units of measurement do not need to be written.

To solve the problem, you need to know that 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes.

1. Let’s translate the connection speed in KB / sec.

128000 bits = 128000/8 = 16000 bytes

16000 bytes = 16000/1024 = 15.625 kilobytes

Connection speed 15,625 kb / sec.

2. Determine the file size, knowing that the transfer time is 32 seconds:

32 * 15,625 = 500 kilobytes.

Answer: 500.
